English Language & Usage Asked by Victor Polevoy on February 9, 2021
What does "We could head that way" mean, exactly? Why should I use "head" instead of "come" or "go"?
I don't think this question is frivolous. "Come" and "go" sound more imperative. "Head" has more of a "mosey at your own pace" connotation.

To head somewhere generally denotes to start moving, as opposed to 'go'. 'Head' is generally used with a direction; 'go' is generally used with a destination. Notice the difference:
We could go to the bar.
We could head towards the bar.
This is not a strict grammatical difference. It's just the way these words are generally used. 'We could head to the bar' is equally acceptable, but, like I said, the 'to' there is meant to denote a direction.
