Definitions of Huzzah on the Web:* Huzzah (originally huzza) is an old English expression of joy or approbation. According to the Oxford English Dictionary it is “apparently a mere exclamation” without any particular derivation. The OED notes, however, that in the 17th and 18th centuries it was identified as a sailor’s cheer or salute, and thus was possibly related to words like heeze and hissa which are cognates of hoist.

Pamalamadingdong: yowza even

    If you ever have occasion to attend a Renaissance Faire you will find yourself exclaiming ‘Huzzah!’ repeatedly. That’s what they do there.

    Jon, I’ve been out of blogland for some time… but I’m back. Nice to catch up on your blog. And best of luck selling the house. Moving is such a pain in the arse - I plan on dying in my house… merely out of my hatred of moving. Yeah, well, “huzzah” or whatever on the new job. Be well!

    My husband (DH) is a realtor! If you get too tired of the 20-something, he’ll be happy to fly over :) Or wait - all possible buyers are fluent in Finnish, right?

    Oh I have missed your constant ranting and raving! I have been so busy selling toys I can’t read any of my favorite blogs (ie Yours). I HATED selling my home, the whole having to keep it picked up was just too much for me! good luck!
