Hear what this man has to say, from hear him, hear him. I think it was a term in parliment, like asking for the floor.

Shouldn’t have said was, probably still is. Brits talk that way.

Well, it’s “Hear, Hear!!”, and is used (usually in conjuction with desk-thumping) to cheer on a point made during a speech in most Parliaments and many other legislative bodies.

It’s a civilized cheer for a speech, as opposed to whistles and hoots.
