Jingo \Jin"go\, n.; pl. {Jingoes}. [Said to be a corruption of
St. Gingoulph.]
1. A word used as a jocular oath. ``By the living jingo.''
--Goldsmith.
2. A statesman who pursues, or who favors, aggressive,
domineering policy in foreign affairs. [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.
