A term coined from the ancient slang expression 'by .Jingo,' owing to an incident of British politics in 1877. when England was undecided whether to interfere forcibly in the war between Russia and Turkey.

We've ffot the ships, we" ve got the men.we'vfigot the money too." '.Jingo!' shouted with a significant emphasis, was derisively cast as a nickname at the warlike party. The term, corresponding to 'spread eagle- ism' in America and rhauviitisme in France, has ever since been applied to the warlike advocates of British Imperial sway, and has been taken up with the same meaning in the L'nited States.
