To clarify... I know the shout is "Hear. hear".
But the axe is Here, here! That's worth shouting about.
Maybe JJJ was using the homonym and making a pun... Maybe I shouldn't have made it obvious.
Quote:When you raise your glass after an impressive speech, do you say “Here, here!” or “Hear, hear!”?
The correct phrase is: Hear, hear! That is, unless someone is asking, “Who wants more wine?” Then you can say, “Here, here!” and pound your fists on the table.
