    “halloo, what’s this?”

    “haaaallooooo” is used a lot by Germans as a slow exclamation to mean “hey idiot, what are you doing?”

      Try actually saying “hey idiot, what are you doing?” some time. It’s very good.

      It’s used this way in American English sometimes, as in a teen issuing a counterpoint “HellOOOOoooo”
