It's called "echoes," and basically it's like extreme emphasis.
You imagine (((wow))) to be said in a very loud, booming voice.
Nazis, for a while, were using this exclusively with jewish names because they're incredibly subtle.
I think it was because they got banned from everywhere ~~for being racist assholes openly~~ because of the evil global Jew conspiracy so they came up with all kinds of euphemisms and codes like this. But yeah, very subtle.
I would hope so. I love making the nazi ineffective.
But also, I distinctly remember learning about echoes and thinking "wow. that's a useful trick. language sure is cool." like a pico-second before learning about the racism and I'm still mad about it.
