hearing
From www.straightdope.com 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. "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.

An
archaic expression used by some
pompous douche-bag to sound fancy.
Usually used by pseudointellectuals who have nothing better to say and are merely trying to sound grand and majestic.
People who seriously said "hear hear" are dead since three hundred years. The ones using it today fancy themselves classy and clever, but only come off as arrogant, pretentious, and shallow.

Phrase said by experienced musicians to a
newbie just joining the band for the first time. Also common in jazz
improvisation situations. This phrase may be said at
rehearsal time OR when playing live.
Example:
Puzzled new musician:
"So how was that line over the 3/
4 bar in the B section?"
Band member:
"Don't worry, just keep up with us, you'll hear it".
