  Quick question: we have a similar (the same?) exclamation in German, it's "hört, hört!" which would be translated to "hear, hear!", not "here, here!". Is it actually "here, here!" in English or it possible you've just mistaken the words after having only heard them?

    The old saying in English is "hear, hear", in reference to old parliament procedures. I use "here, here" on text forums because you can't hear anything, but "right here" is a post worth reading!

    You are right. "Hear, hear" is correct qnd indicates approval.

    The expression comes from England's Parliament. The full version is, "Hear, Hear the excellent speaker!"
