How did this all start?

i knew about using "really really" before but I haven't heard people repeat other words until recently..

 

do you want me to explain it in detail? 

repeating words in English is normal, its called modifying nouns specifically. 

its not a "how did it start", it always has been part of the english language. 

 

for instance when someone says 

"its not a book, its a book book" 

the first book modifies the second one, it shows that it is not just any book its what a book should be.

dunno but it's been around for a pretty long time because people used to say things like "do you like him? or do you like-like him?" on old shows from like the 90s

 

Yeah, that's exactly what I thought

 

 

 

thats the English language for you :dave:

 

 

It happens in other languages, though. Repeating the same word for emphasis or some kind of modifier

I meant the stupid part lol, I genuinely think English is a stupid language ngl. 

but yes, it happens in most languages, repetition is always used to solidify nouns/meanings.
