[Poll #2029661]

From sitcoms etc it seems that in America, Girl Scouts are in troops run by parents. So you'd meet at one another's houses, and it would be a troop of your friends, is that right? Is it a different parent each week? If so, how do you do badges etc? What happens if you want to be a Girl Scout and none of your friends do? How are the troops regulated/registered- do they have names and things? Is this also how Boy Scouts are run?

I always write either huzzah or hooray, but I usually say hooray.

I'm afraid I cannot answer the second part of your poll because I don't like cheese and onion OR salt and vinegar crisps :P

I also say "Hooray!" But "huzzah" amuses me more in text form so I picked that. HUZZAH!

"Is a twiglet a crisp" - a question for the ages. I thought not, but then chipsticks are, so it's not the shape. Perhaps the hardness and density? I think they are too firm (ooer missus) to be a crisp.

Surely crisps are always potato-based? Unless specifically labelled as 'vegetable crisps' or whatever.

But that would mean Wotsits aren't crisps because they're neither crispy nor made of potato, and then my second choice of Frazzles-style fake bacon rasher thingys also begins to look suspect. UR QUESTIONS: SO HARD.

Ah,now I remember hooray is a much better spelling than hurray!

I never remember you can spell it with a 'u' until I see it written that way! And 'hurrah' just makes me think of posh people in the 1920s...

I always spell it hooray (hurray looks like 'hurry' to me) and say that or hurrah.

SALT AND VINEGAR 4EVA

Ugh, WRONG.

I think they're different words. 'Hooray' has the emphasis more emphatically on the first syllable. I'd never write 'Hurray Henry', for example, only 'Hooray Henry'.

Yes, that was going to be my comment! My real preference is "hooray", but I would choose "hurrah" over "hurray".

I would like to say that my choice of hurray, hurrah or huzzah really depends on the situation.

When do you give a hurrah?

When a thing is good but I'm feeling restrained and sort of satisfied about it, usually when a situation has already resolved well.
