I have read that this should really be "Hear here" - or at least that this
was historically what was meant.


Approbation Interjection: hear hear! bully for you! well done! bravo!
bravissimo! euge! macte virtute! so far so good, that's right, quite right;
optime! one cheer more; may your shadow never be less! esto perpetua! long
life to! viva! enviva! Godspeed! valete et plaudite! encore! bis!
