Neither Jeff, but rhather: Hear Here. Think about it, makes perfect sense.
(Otherwise it would have been Hear squared.) Back in the old days before
sound amplification, government was accomplished by a bunch of politicians
in a single room discussing some topic. Perhaps several were talking at the
same time. When someone uttered some noteworthy comment, a bystander would
say Hear Here! to call the attention of the others. The rhyme makes it
better than Listen Here.
