Is it 'hear hear' or 'here here'?

[halfwitpicker]

Anyone know?

or as someone up thread said

If you think you can stay out until 1 am, you've got another think coming

Er, can we stay on my problem please?

It's thing, surely

tries it’s best

Too, too funny - unless you really were trying for irony and missed

sorry OP, I thought that was sorted.

It is hear hear!

*"I'm here, I agree"
or
"This person here, is saying what I think"

It's not that illogical...*

Exactly this. Not illogical at all.

a quick google is unanimous, they all say hear hear (even if you type in here here!)

The phrase hear, hear seems to have come into existence as an abbreviation of the phrase hear him, hear him, which was well-established in Parliament in the late seventeenth century. ... When you say hear, hear, you are in fact saying that you agree with something another person has just said.

Well, of course, it is "hear, hear" as in "hear what that person is saying as they are talking sense".

...or here here as in 'over here, I/we agree'

I know it isn't but it could be.

I wasn't arguing "here here" is actually correct. Just saying if you've only ever heard it, not read it (which isn't particularly far fetched..) it's not illogical to get it wrong.

I often have the opposite problem - I pronounce words wrong because I've only ever read them.

Bear with me.

Written as bare with do you mean let's get naked?

Yes wondered about that as I do try to use proper grammar obs have odd slip up. Anyway I looked it up in dictionary, but still couldn't remember. Hopefully I will now. But I bet I won't!

Principle actor annoys me. It’s Principal!

Actually principal / principle is one I often have to check. My mind was completely blown when I found out there are rules for on principle vs in principle.

Never said 'another think' here, while family from the south and everyone says 'another thing' as in, "do that again and you've got another thing coming" i.e. a clip round the ear (no one ever actually did get a clip round the ear though 😂)

They're all wrong!

I am no pendent (pendant?) but I do wish people would figure out the whole lose/loose thing.

It’s hear hear as per links.
Wikipedia suggests that both Vocal Chords and Vocal Cords are acceptable but Cords is more standard.

And yes, “another think coming”.

While we’re at it, you don’t “tow the line” how the hell would you tow the line, and why? You “toe the line”: lining up in precisely the right position.

It's 'another thing coming' - I've never heard of 'another think'

It means I'm threatening you with something.

Another 'think' isn't even grammatically correct - it would be 'another thought'

This is interesting because it's using the entire phrase incorrectly and creating a new one. It's, as said upthread, if you think that you've got another think coming. It's not a threat of a thing coming as a consequence of an action but telling someone what they believe is the situation that they are wrong and will be forced to reconsider.

It's definitely think.

Language is wonderfully organic and changes all the time. Doesn't stop me getting the rage when people mix up affect/effect though.

I wouldn’t want to socialise with someone who used “another thing coming” if it’s a threat of physical violence. Also in a lot of cases a threat of physical violence makes no sense. “If you think I’m going to do X then you have another think coming” makes sense (using intentionally quirky grammar for comedic effect). “If you think I’m going to do X then I’ll lamp you” is either nonsensical or psychotic.

It's 'another thing coming' - I've never heard of 'another think'

s'not.

Another 'think' isn't even grammatically correct

Colloquial sayings don't have to be grammatically correct. Don't you ever say 'I'll have a think about that'? 'Another thing' doesn't really make sense. What was the first thing?
