What is Reduplication?
A linguistic term for repeating a word twice. Generally emphasizes the duplicated word, but American slang uses it to indicate that the word is being used in its truest or most specialized sense.
"Your cousin kissed you? You mean, like a _kiss_ kiss?"
"Was it a _date_ date or just a date?"
