When people chant are they chanting a reheased dialog or is it just made up on the spot?

It depends on the religion, and what you mean by chanting, some religions chant while others repeat what the leader says sometimes in word or song which could be considered a chant, buddhist chant, wiccans chant, christians "sing praise" but generally its a set chant like Nam-myoho-renge-kyo in a form of Buddhism, or when christians reciet the lords prayer

If it was a rugby match they were probably singing 'bread of heaven' or 'hymns and arias'. The other thing is oggy oggy oggy. Doesn't actually mean anything sorry.

I don't know what makes the crowd turn on a wrestler, but according to what I've read, it's been mostly the guys booing Cena while the women and children have been cheering him. In a truly interesting note, at the top of the show this past Monday, they were booing him. But when he gave Lita the FU, they were cheering him. If that's not fickle, I don't know what is.

Bloody Mary\n\n\nLegend:   Chanting "Bloody Mary!" thirteen times in front of a candlelit mirror will summon a vengeful spirit. \n\nExample:   [Collected on the Internet, 1995] \n\nIf you go into the bathroom and look into the mirror with the lights off and the room completely black, and then say 'Bloody Mary' thirteen times, a woman will appear and scratch your face up/off. \n\n\n--------------------------------------------------------------------------------\n\nI was told that if you said "Hell Mary" seven times in front of a mirror in a dark room, you would see Satan's image in the mirror. The story was embellished further by the teller, who claimed that after three "Hell Mary", the mirror turned red, and that after five an unclear face appeared. \n\n\n--------------------------------------------------------------------------------\n\nHere's how I always heard the story. You go into a room with a mirror and turn all the lights off (this works well in a bathroom). You begin, in a whisper, to chant "bloody mary. bloody mary, Bloody Mary", as you continue to chant your voice should grow louder and louder into a near scream. While you are chanting you should be spinning around at a medium rate and taking a glimpse in the mirror at each pass. Near the 13th repetition of the words . . . "she" should appear and...? \n\nA frend of mine said that her roommate tried this and ran out screaming from the bathroom. She was shaking and appeared genuinely terrified and refused to talk about the incident, but those who were around her when she came out noticed that her clenched fingers were covered in blood.  \n\nVariations: \nThe avenging spirit goes by many names: Bloody Mary, Bloody Bones, Hell Mary, Mary Worth, Mary Worthington, Mary Whales, Mary Johnson, Mary Lou, Mary Jane, Sally, Kathy, Agnes, Black Agnes, Aggie, Svarte Madame. \n\nSummoning Mary requires the right chant. "I believe in Mary Worth" is the key phrase according to one version, but others require the shouting of "Kathy, come out!" or the repetition of "Bloody Mary" into the mirror as many times as the ritual demands. (Sometimes Bloody Mary gets more of a script and is summoned by calls of "Bloody Mary! I killed your baby!") \n\nThe precise requirements of the ritual vary. Some specify that the mirror must be illuminated by a single candle; in others, there must be a candle on each side. In some versions, the message to Mary is repeated by just one girl who is either a volunteer or one selected by the others to summon up the mirror-witch. The number of chants needed to fetch Mary also varies. \n\nWhat the mirror-witch does upon arrival varies too. She may strike her summoner dead, drive her mad, or fiercely scratch her face. She may merely peer malevolently out through the mirror, or she may drag one of the girls back through it to live with her. \nOrigins:   The research into Bloody Mary goes  back to 1978, when folklorist Janet Langlois published her essay on the legend. Belief in summoning the mirror-witch was even at that time widespread throughout the U.S. \n\nMary is summoned whenever squealing girls get together for a sleepover, but boys have been known to call on her too. (The 'Bloody Mary' legend was common when I was a kid in the early 1970s. We typically performed the "ritual" in bathrooms, because the bathrooms of our suburban homes had large mirrors and were easily darkened even during the day since they had no windows. A familiar 'Bloody Mary' story was one about a girl who supposedly ended her incantation with a spiteful "I don't believe in Mary Worth," then tripped over the doorjamb while exiting the bathroom and broke her  \nhip.) \n\nMary is said to be a witch who was executed a hundred years ago for plying the black arts, or a woman of more modern times who died in a local car accident in which her face was hi

three cheers and then a growl or a screech

Well I usually spell it "pfft"  If this is the sound you are talking about, people make it when they don't believe something,  It sounds kind of like a scoff and can be follwed by the words, Yeah right!  or  I don't believe it!

Not all Buddhists chant the same thing, or have the same reasons. I would suggest if you wanted to know.... start chanting, anything will work, it is a tool to calm the mind so you can use the potential of your brain. Normally we go on in a sort of sleep obsessed with everyday thoughts, not aware of the being that is who we really are because we are just trying to survive. It is a tool to move from auto pilot to manual.

There are fans running all the time, and the sound of the milking units, and people hollering to each other to be heard.  A loud noise would startle them, but the ones I mentioned are ordinary noises they're used to.  Many farmers have a loud radio on; those cows are used to that.

Yes they are real. Christians (just for example) do some of the same things, pray, light candles and say a few words, it's still a spell/chant just in a different belief system. \nChants are also used in other religions, Hindu, Buddhism---probably every religion has some kind of chant, it can be sung or spoken.. One thing you must remember is Witchcraft/Wicca/Paganism is not bad, some people make it bad but it's a natural, non-harming religion.. Unlike Christianity who think it's ok to burn/drown/stone/punish someone for being different. I have studied many religions including Witchcraft/Wicca and I have not found anything santanic about it. The only santanic religion is Satanism, of course.. \nI use chants in my meditation, Yoga and to calm myself down in times of stress. \nIt's all in what you believe, but don't believe everything you see or read, you have to keep an open mind and learn for yourself. You cannot say oh Broccoli taste bad if you have not tried a bite...\nSo yes it's real and you never know who you run into who may practice it.  I know many people in prestigious positions who do.

"not guilty your honor"\n\njust kidding you might as well put "who dey" although that's more of a fan chant

You just did. \n\nYou writing in the 2nd person indicates that there are only two of you having a conversation; the "second person" is the one to whom the speaking is directed. \n\nSo: \n\n"You who are gathered here today - whether for good intentions or ill - your presence indicates a demand. You demand for change to take place and you have taken it upon yourself to arrive here, in this place and time, and raise your voices in one song. It is your chant to make, and your voice to raise; your fight to be fought, and your victory to be won." \n\nYou can see how tedious it can be, simply because it's all directed at the person or people you're talking to. (an author speaking directly to their readers can be said to be using the 2nd person perspective). \n\nIt's simpler to use 1st or 3rd - leave 2nd person to the politicians.

my high school team's pre-game chant goes a little something like this...\n\nLeader: What time is it?\nEveryone: Game time!\nLeader: What time is it?\nEveryone: Game time!\nLeader: What time is it?\nEveryone: Show time!\n\nThen everyone yells the team name and runs out.\n\nAbout the captain issue - some teams wear little cloth bands across their shoulder on their jersey.  They usually stand for different things, but in your case you could use it to distinguish the captains from the rest of the team.

Some people clap on the beat, and some people clap on the off-beat.  I'm guessing you're calling the off-beat "strange rhythm".  I heard that back in the days of segregation, when people would play concerts to segregated audiences, the performers on stage would notice that the white side clapped on the beat and the black side clapped on the off-beat.

When the Argentine goalkeeper is preparing to take a goal kick, the Mexican crowd chant something that has become a tradition in Mexican football to offend the visiting team (or, in this case, the opponent). They say:\n\n"Oooooooohhh PUTO!!!!"\n\nThe "oooh" part is a way of distracting the goalkeeper, and "puto" is an offensive word similar to "f**k you" in English.
