Uh, actually, "hear hear" is correct.

Lemme get this straight: You're citing a Saturday Night Live script as a
reference? :-)

Imagine it's 150 years ago. (For you youngsters, that would put us way
back in pre-internet days, when people conversed instead of pecking.)
We're sitting around enjoying some refreshing non-alcoholic beverages
and talking about various things. Some brilliant thinker among us begins
to orate in a particularly eloquent fashion. More and more people break
from individual, localized conversation to listen to the man (or woman)
speak. To encourage serious attention and to show his support for the
ideas being presented, a listener pipes up with the admonition "Listen
to the man speak, my friends. What astounding thoughts he has, and so
well spoken." In other words, "Hear, Hear!"

You'd have to back up a few more than 150 years to find a gathering
where people are drinking non alcoholic beverages...

Yes, well, this *is* a forum for pilots, and since we're all flying
tomorrow, none of us are imbibing today. I guess you won't grant me
poetic license to superimpose the present on the past, though. Fair
enough. "Imagine we're sitting around talking, and getting blithering
drunk..."
