xge: The word jingoism predates the Chinese phrase by many

xge: The word jingoism predates the Chinese phrase by many decades. It has its origins in the phrase "by Jingo" which was used in a popular song sung in British pubs back in the 19th century. That phrase itself goes as far back as the 17th century. It's supposedly a less sinful way of saying "by Jesus".
