First coming to prominence in the early 1900's, the "Four-Round Repeat with Precadence" (since termed the "Traditional Ellmyruh Cheer") was a reactionary movement to the standard cheer of the day commonly known as the "Three Huzzahs". (In this context, the cheer would be preformed as such: "Three Huzzahs for Sam! Huzzah! Huzzah! Huzzah!")

Actually, it's not just a four-round repeat. However, since Faux Pas made me laugh on a rather bleak Monday morning, I'll do a cheer for him, too:
"faux pas! Faux pas! FAux pas! FAUx pas! FAUX pas! FAUX Pas! FAUX PAs! FAUX PAS!"
