To think "hurrah" when someone admits their generalised views are due to ignorance and fear

[boglach]

Oh sorry did I generalise generalisers as ignorant

[WorraLiberty]

On a different note...

Does anyone actually say hurrah?

I've only ever seen it typed...I don't think I've ever heard anyone say it.

If I did, I'd expect it to be followed up with 'And lashings of ginger beer'

But I digress.....

[Proudnscary]

I say it all the time Worra

[catgirl1976]

Does anyone say "Huzzah" though? I love the idea of that.......

[MrsArchieTheInventor]

Depends what the views are.

e.g. gays transmit AIDS, even by sharing the same air space as you = ignorant and probably based on fear and misunderstanding.

I can't think of an opposite view to the above but you get what I mean.

[dollymixtures]

I say hurrah. But then I also say lawks a mercy so I'm hardly representative.

OP, you would not be unreasonable had this ever happened.

[SilentBoob]

I say hurrah, and huzzah.

Sometimes I say "well hurrah and huzzah!!"

[Proudnscary]

dolly - PMSL!!

[YonWhaleFish]

Huzzah!

[MrsChemist]

I say 'huzzah!' I also say 'Alas!'

[dollymixtures]

Huzzah is not unknown in this house, sometimes in association with hurrah...you all think I live with Bertie Wooster now don't you

[WorraLiberty]

Ohhhhh

When I'm happy, I just say "Yessss get innn!!"

And then proceed to run around with my top over my head until I bash into furniture.

[Proudnscary]

I say huzzah.

I always say it after downing a shot of vodka or similar, then turn the glass upside down on the table.

[boglach]

Jolly good

I am being unreasonable, to expect humanity to change on a Friday

booze it is then

[catgirl1976]

I always think of Bertie when I see hurrah or huzzah (and certainly hurrah and huzzah)

I want to come and live with you all :) It sounds so jolly

[bronze]

ginger beer presumably

[Proudnscary]

Bring vodka catgirl

All jolly posh weirdos welcome

[catgirl1976]

Hurrah! :)

[dollymixtures]

Proud are you laughing at my affected quaint linguistic manner or my astute observation of the human condition?

[Proudnscary]

Lawks a mercy - genius. Still laughing and getting very strange looks

I also say 'Oh Christopher Biggins' instead of 'Oh Christ' and 'Goodness Gracious great balls of fire' instead of 'Good Good'

[takingiteasy]

I say Huzzah quite a lot!

[GrahamTribe]

I don't think "hurrah" at all.

[boglach]

Goodness gracious weirdos welcome

[dollymixtures]

Actually in all seriousness I did once see Theresa May on Question Time say (almost) this in relation to gay adoption. My respect for her soared and I thought 'hurrah'. Then my deeply cynical wise ndn pointed out it was almost certainly calculated to make her appear more human and I didn't feel huzzah-y at all

[dollymixtures]

Proud, I say heavens to betsy too...is anyone else having thread ja vu?
