jawohl,
There is jawohl and then there is jawoll. :ok
:ok Jawohl is simply communicating an emphatic agreeing. Emphatic because the preceding information/order came from a superior in a military or civilian setting. Here it can be compared to the English “yes sir” or “aye aye sir”
Jawohl can also be used amongst peers if one is excited about something like the proposal to have icecream.
The “h” in Jawohl would usually make the “o" sound longer. Kind of like jawoool. However in a military setting, screaming it fast and loud, it ends up sounding more like jawoll. If it is pronounced and written like this in a civilian setting it is usually used ironically. The use of this facetious version became so widespread that it made it officially into the German dictionary in 1991. Duden | jawoll | Rechtschreibung, Bedeutung, Definition
How to top it? You could at another “ja” at the end. Jawoll Ja.
