[MR] Midrealm cheer (was "Vivat")

[Nicole Spaun]

Is it a regional difference between Huzzah, Hoobah, and Poobaa?

When I was in the Grey Gargoyles, we definitely said Huzzah.
Then again, maybe it was that Chicago accent throwing me off ;)

> No, the MidRealm uses "Hoobah!"  It came to pass that the 2nd or 3rd king of the MidRealm and some other gentles were watching some belly dancers, when one of the gentlemen said, "Hubbah hubbah!"  The king corrected him to say, "No, that would be 'Hoobah!'"   I guess that was supposed to sound more period somehow.  It became tradition, and it is still used there.
