Cheer for me, lady, cheer for me Explanation: I don't have the context, but it looks like we have a crack head here who's proud of himself for having been off it for two days and doesn't want a handout but a pat on the back. 'Applaud' wouldn't be wrong but perhaps a bit too sophisticated a choice of w,odds for the speaker. |
