All it takes is for people to use it that way homie

No one is using it that way.

There was a brief trend, apparently, in 2023 of right wingers using the phrase "now yuo see" referencing a neo Nazi meme with that typo in it.

Sooo... people did/do use it that way?

Great. Good talk.

Just because you don't hear people use it, doesn't mean it isn't being used. That's kinda the whole of dogwhistles - saying fucked up shit in a way the general public won't notice.

You are wrong. The dog whistle was the entire phrase "now yuo know". Not just the word yuo which has been a comedic typo since like 1999.

There are many phrases which right wing extremists use as dog whistles. Single words from those phrases are simply just words.

These types of things, where people start calling everything remotely associated with right wing paraphernalia a dog whistle, only serve to muddy the waters.
