Show Chauvinism. A chauvinist is one who is absurdly jealous of his country's honor ol puffed up with an exaggerated sense of national glory. The words "chauvinist" "chau-vinist" and "chauvinism" are taken from the name of Nicolas Chauvin, a soldier of Napoleon, who was so notorious no-torious for his exaggerated and demonstrative de-monstrative devotion to the imperial cause that he was caricatured on the stage, and his name came to stand for all people who work mischief by their unreasoning, irascible and vainglorious vainglor-ious patriotism. |
