Show 'Jingoism' Jingoism is a term applied to anyone who favors an aggressive or bellicose policy in foreign affairs, af-fairs, says Pathfinder. In this sense, it was first used in England, where "jingo" became a nickname nick-name for any advocate of Lord Beaconsfield's action in sending a fleet to Turkish waters to stay Russia's advance in 1878. The word was lifted from the chorus of a music-hall favorite of that bygone day, which ran as follows : "We don't want to fight, but by jingo if toe do, We've got the ships, we've got the men, we've got the money too." |
