By a single speaker, it is a form of interruption. In groups, it takes a form of call and response: the cheers are initiated by one person who exclaims, "Three cheers for... [someone or something]" (or, more ancient, "Three times three"), then called "hip hip" (ancient, "hip hip hip") three times, each time responded by "hurray" or "hurray".

History

The call was recorded in England in the early 19th century in connection with toasting. The 18th century dictionary mentions "Hip" as a concern that gets attention, and in the example of 1790 it is repeated. "Hip-hip" was added as a preparatory call before toasting or cheering in the early 19th century, perhaps after 1806. By 1813, it had reached its modern, hip-hip-hurray shape.

It is said that the word "hip" comes from the medieval Latin acronym, " H ierosolyma E st P erdita", meaning "lost Jerusalem" a term that became famous in the German Hep hep riots of August to October 1819. Cornell's Michael Fontaine debated this etymology, plagiarized it into a letter in an English-language newspaper published August 28, 1819, a few weeks after the riots. He concludes that "acrostic interpretations... have no basis in fact." Ritchie Robertson also denied the "false etymology" of the acronym's interpretation, citing Katz.

One theory about the origin of "hurray" is that the Europeans take the Mongol appeal "hurray" as an enthusiastic appeal of courage and mutual encouragement. See Jack Weatherford's Genghis Khan and Modern World Creation book.
