 jin·go /ˈʤɪŋ(ˌ)go/
 侵略主義,沙文主義

From: Webster's Revised Unabridged Dictionary (1913)

 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.
