Doesn't it seem odd that "hear, hear" means the opposite of "here, here"?

[Bucky]

Hear, hear! = "I agree"
Here, here. = "Wait a minute, I completely disagree"

That's so odd.

3. Beer, Beer!

That's better.

4. Oh good one! Forgot to add "here, here" also means "Quit crying, child!"

Also it can mean "This is where my neighbor hid the body, officer!" but only in more specialized circumstances.
