Actually, I honestly did not know if it was "here here" or "hear hear". I know
it is often said alloud, and it is one of those things you never really think
about, and I cannot recall having ever seen it written, so it was a question to
you.

And, the more you think about it, a term such as that one (however you spell it)
really does not make too much sense in our language anymore.
