jin·go /ˈʤɪŋ(ˌ)go/
侵略主義,沙文主義
Jin·go n.; pl. Jingoes
1. A word used as a jocular oath. “By the living jingo.”
2. A statesman who pursues, or who favors, aggressive, domineering policy in foreign affairs; a bellicose superpatriot or chavinist. [Cant, Eng.]
Note: ☞ This sense arose from a doggerel song which was popular during the Turco-Russian war of 1877 and 1878. The first two lines were as follows: --
We don't want to fight, but by Jingo if we do,
We 've got the ships, we 've got the men, we 've got the money too.
