(((them)))

Triple parentheses, ((())), also referred to as an echo, are used online to denote a person or organization who is Jewish or supports Jewish people and causes. They may also be used around a word like (((them))) or (((people))) to refer to Jews as a whole, especially by antisemitic people as a dog whistle or to avoid being flagged for hate speech.

Some Jewish people have reclaimed the symbol and put it in their bios or usernames, but it is most commonly used about Jewish people in a negative way, rather than by them.

Them (dem)

Jamaican dialect

Used as a susbtitute for the subject pronoun (non-standard) or the Demonstrative pronoun those.

Much like the object pronoun me replaces "I" informally.

It used as a plural marker in some cases but, not always and is used most times when it's replaceable with the subject pronoun they.

Eg.

Me speak whole heap of languages them. (Incorrect)

Me speak whole heap of languages. (Only correct version).

The tires them (dem) in the shed outta front. (Correct non-standard)
The tires, they're in the shed out front. (Correct standard)
Who yah going out with later?

Me friends them (dem). (Short reply exception)

What you going to do later?

Wash me clothes them (dem) (short reply exception)
Them (dem) love jerk chicken you see. (Patois)

They love jerk chicken, you see. (Standard J'can)

The cows (them) dem over deh need feeding. (Not Patois pluralisation)

'Em cows over there need feeding. (Ebonics)

The cows, they're over there. They need feeding. (Standard J'Can)

The mother them (dem) who not coming lemme know. (Patois pluralisation the mothers, those who aren't coming let me know )

'Em mothers who aint coming lemme know. (Ebonics)

Those mothers who aren't coming let me know. (Standard J'can)

Only them in the world.

1. All the people that are going to be next to me for ever.
2. People for all over my country but I can feel them like if they are in a flat next to mine.
3. They.
4. The friends that will never forget you.
5. The people that are with you in the wrong or in the right way, but ever there only for you when you need them help.
6. If I lose them, I'll not know what to do.
7. People who don't need to have an explanation just to understand you.
All that afternoons and evenings in the street, only them in the world.
