Just as hips come in threes, so do cheers.Three cheers is generally followed by “for” and the name of the person or thing being celebrated. A person being cheersedmight also respond to a toast of three cheers with the wordcheers, which, especially in the UK, can mean “thanks.” The term cheer entered English in the late 12th or early 13th century, and ultimately comes from the Greek kára meaning “head.”
