I was wondering if different kingdoms/baronies/ect. had variations in how they cheer? For example, I've been in the SCA off and on since I was 7, and so I learned to shout "huzzah!" and such. One of the Monarchs didn't like "huzzah" so we said "hooray"...but the big change in cheering that I've noticed, is that after court, when the herald does the whole "three cheers!" thing, it used to be that the herald would say, "An Tir!" And the populace would shout back, "We stand together!"
But now we just shout "An Tir" back.
I don't like that change, especially since it seemed to happen about the time that Wealdsmere became a frat party with a theme, or just politics, or A&S if you were part of that clique.
Crap, I just went off topic in my own thread. heart

I know some groups lean toward "vivat" rather than "huzzah," and I've known some war bands to cheer their own way as is appropriate for their time and place.

Here in Aethelmearc we yell Vivat during court. And those of us from the Barony of Thescorre yell "Bobreaf" during Baronial court as well as when a member of the barony gets an award during kingdom court.
Bobreaf is Fear Bob backwards. Thescorre has three ravens in its arms. Hugen, Munin, and Bob. Not sure why we yell it but it is what we do.

In Stonemarche, we all shout "Vivat!", usually three times, then cheer/drink/whatever. At feasts, we tend to have the neverending toast, which starts with someone saying, "My lords and ladies, please charge your glasses..." then they toast someone, then sit down, then someone else stands up, toasts someone else, etcetra, and this has gone on for over ten rotations. I seem to remember that somewhere in the midrealm they say what sounds alot like, "Wooba". According to legend, this started when a bellydancer was performing for the royals, and the king said "Hubba hubba." The queen said something to the efffect of " What?" and the king explained it was a middle eastern word similar to vivat. It's been used ever since.

An east-coast unit in Dagorhir has a cool one....
Leader: "Blood and souls!"
Unit members: "And body holes!"
...closer to home, we get markedly less period.
The Blood Pact, one of our households: "Boot boot smite!"
Tynan: "SPOON!" (he hand-forges period flatware....)
House Padma: "Many bloods, one family." Or, in Drow: "Mzil vlosen, uss fuma." ....that's the House motto.

We tend to use Vivat as a kind of all-purpose. I've occasionally heard huzzah. Different orders sometimes have different cheers for when things are awarded in court... the order of the kittyhawk, for instance, meows, the ...boreas, I think, makes wooshing noises. xd

We still shout "we stand together" after he calls "An Tir" crying I would not like that change and would still yell 'we stand together no matter what.
An Tir-> We stand together!
Avacal-> Together we conqure!

I was appaled at the whole "hooray" thing. For as many groups as I associate with, and as many events as I am the Games Coordinator, mostly we all still yell Huzzah.
A couple house motto's for you:
McCreadys:
Someone walking into the encampment yells: "MCCREADY!!!!" they reply with "SLUT!!!!"
Sheild Brigade:
"For those who stand behind us?" STRENGTH!
"For those who stand with us?" BLOOD!
"And For those who stand against us?" STEEL!
