And NEXT week we can invent the nuclear bazooka!

Soccer is next on the list.

Tsk. The expression is “Hear. Hear.”

Are you sure it’s not “Hear, here”?

Or “beer, beer”.

Guess that fire’s already been spoken for.

“Here,here” expression soon to be replaced by “there, there”.

I found this online:

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!”

Of course, if the speaker is actually asking a question, such as “and just where do you think we should open the new strip club?” it’s not hard to imagine that at least one yahoo in attendance might yell, “here, here!” But this would be the exception that proves the rule.

How’s about saying “where, where?”

ok, queue the music from ‘2001, a space odyssey’

and yet the ants have binoculars

The birth of Golf!

But don’t their clubs look more like baseball bats?

It’s “hear, hear”, not “here, here”.
