Hip hip hooray (also hippity hip hooray; ''Hooray'' may also be spelled and pronounced hoorah, hurrah, hurray etc.) is a cheering called out to express praise or approbation toward someone or something, in the English speaking world and elsewhere. By a sole speaker, it is a form of interjection. In a group, it takes the form of call and response: the cheer is initiated by one person exclaiming "Three cheers for...(or something )" (or, more archaically, "Three times three"〔(''Fraser's Magazine for Town and Country, Volume 9'' ). 1834, James Fraser.

Eighteenth century dictionaries list "Hip" as an attention-getting interjection, and in an example from 1790 it is repeated.〔 'Sir Charles engag'd one day at dice / Hip! hip! come hither John, he cries;'〕"Hip-hip" was added as a preparatory call before making a toast or cheer in the early 19th century, probably after 1806. By 1813, it had reached its modern form, hip-hip-hurrah. It has been suggested that the word "hip" stems from a medieval Latin acronym, "''H''ierosolyma ''E''st ''P''erdita", meaning "Jerusalem is lost",〔Gabay's Copywriter's Compendium, Jonathan Gaby, pub. (Elsevier) 2006, ISBN 0-7506-8320-1, p.669〕 a term that gained notoriety in the German Hep hep riots of August to October 1819. Cornell's Michael Fontaine disputes this etymology, tracing it to a single letter in an English newspaper published August 28, 1819, some weeks after the riots. He concludes that the "acrostic interpretation ... has no basis in fact.".〔(【引用サイトリンク】first=Michael )〕 Ritchie Robertson also disputes the "false etymology" of the acronym interpretation, citing Katz. One theory about the origin of "hurrah" is that the Europeans picked up the Mongol exclamation "hooray" as an enthusiastic cry of bravado and mutual encouragement.
