question about toast

[eakers]

you know when you are making a toast and you say "here here"
is it "hear hear" or "here here" or something else all together?

 

[kranky]

It's "Hear, hear".

Actually, it's heer heer. (BOO!)

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHA!!

The correct term is, "hear, hear!" It is an abbreviation for "hear, all ye good people, hear what this brilliant and eloquent speaker has to say!" source

edit: a minute to late

I always thought since a person makes a statement before the toast... afterwards they say "Hear Hear" is so that people take to heart what he is saying and appreciate it.

When I'm making a toast, I usually check the fridge for butter and strawberry jam..

I figured this thread was going to be about atomic element #6, but I was wrong.
