noun jingoisms
- Excessive patriotism or aggressive nationalism, especially with regards to foreign policy. Soviet reports today on the British victory in the Falkland Islands said a “new flare-up of jingoism” in Britain obscured the fact that the problem was far from solved.
- A jingoistic attitude, comment, etc. Americans are now too overstimulated and spoiled by choices to be properly manipulated by the old rallies that used to boil nationalistic fervor—billowing flags, unctuous marching band music, and a white man in a dark suit speaking in comforting Judeo-Christian jingoisms.
- Chauvinism.
