Major news like that really does need a response, so, uh, I guess that was mine. :-) > > > > Brunnen-"didn't realise there *was* a traditional Ellmyruh cheer"G > > Actually, it's from the Neo-Classical School of cheering.  First coming to prominence in the early 1900's, the "Four-Round Repeat with Precadence" (since termed the "Traditional Ellmyruh Cheer") was a reactionary movement to the standard cheer of the day commonly known as the "Three Huzzahs".  (In this context, the cheer would be preformed as such:  "Three Huzzahs for Sam!  Huzzah! Huzzah! Huzzah!") > > There are a great many Ellmyruh cheers, from the Art Nouveau Ellmyruhn (which is really flowerly), to the Ellmyruh Simplistic ("Yay, Sam!"), to the Minimalistic ("sam"). > > -Faux "Hurrah, Sam!"

  Actually, it's not just a four-round repeat.  However, since Faux Pas made me laugh on a rather bleak Monday morning, I'll do a cheer for him, too: "faux pas! Faux pas! FAux pas! FAUx pas! FAUX pas! FAUX Pas! FAUX PAs! FAUX PAS!"
