"Here Here"

[Vivvav]

You know how in movies and stuff, a guy makes a speech and when people agree, they yell, "Here Here"? Is that really it? Here are some possibilities:
1. "Here Here": "Here! I agree over here!"
2. "Hear Hear": "I hear ya man, I hear ya."
3. "Hear Here": "I hear you over here!"
Just something that came across my mind. What do you think?

Second post =

Hear, hear is an expression used as a short repeated form of hear ye and hear him. It represents a listener's agreement with the point being made by a speaker.
It was originally an imperative for directing attention to speakers, and has since been used, according to the Oxford English Dictionary, as "the regular form of cheering in the House of Commons", with many purposes depending on the intonation of its user. It is often incorrectly spelled "here here", especially on websites and IM.
The phrase hear him, hear him! was used in Parliament since the late 1600s, and had been reduced to hear! or hear, hear! by the late 1700s. The verb hear had earlier been used in the King James Bible as a command for others to listen.
Other phrases have been derived from hear, hear, such as a hear, hear (a cheer), to hear-hear (to shout the expression), and hear-hearer (a person who does the same).

You forgot "Here, Hear!": "Come here, and hear this!"

Even though Wikipedia already explained the real meaning.
