As others have said, it is simple communication with teamates and how to defend accordingly. You repeat it to make sure everyone hears you and to let them know the ball is still "dead."
How this could be interpreted as taunting is beyond me. And IMO it's short-sighted interpretations like this that help give officiating a bad rep in some people's eyes.
