:''Hurrah redirects here. For other uses, see Hurrah (disambiguation)'' Huzzah (sometimes written ''hazzah''; originally huzza, and in most modern varieties of English hurrah or hooray) is, according to the ''Oxford English Dictionary'' (OED), "apparently a mere exclamation".〔http://dictionary.oed.com/cgi/entry/50109712〕 The dictionary does not mention any specific derivation. Whatever its origins, it has seen occasional literary use since at least the time of Shakespeare. First use was in 1573, according to Merriam-Webster. ==Use== ''Huzzah'' may be categorized with such interjections as ''hoorah'' and ''hooray''. According to the ''OED'', "In English the form ''hurrah'' is literary and dignified; ''hooray'' is usual in popular acclamation." In common usage, such as cheers at sporting events and competitions, the speaker need not make distinction and the words are distinguished by regional dialect and accent. However there are certain circumstances where the ''huzzah'' form is preferred; for example, it is customary for rowing crews of Magdalene College, Cambridge to celebrate victories with a chant of "hip hip huzzah". ''Huzzah'' is often commonly shouted at Renaissance Festivals. In popular culture, "huzzah" has been used by Tobias Funke in Arrested Development as well as by Patton Oswalt in Parks and Recreation. It is also frequently used by Chris Burgess to denote excitement or glee. Continued in popular culture, "Huzzah" is also a common victory acclaim in Larping and other related medieval themed Role Playing Games. Though generally pronounced , Alexander Pope's ''An Essay on Man'' (1734), line 256, rhymes the second syllable as in ''hooray'', . 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Huzzah」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
