Noun [English]

IPA: /ˈd͡ʒɪŋ.ɡəʊ/ [UK], /ˈd͡ʒɪŋ.ɡoʊ/ [US] Forms: jingos [plural], jingoes [plural]
Rhymes: -ɪŋɡəʊ Etymology: From the minced oath by jingo, which was used in a music hall song, written ca. 1878 by G. W. Hunt, that supported Britain's then belligerent attitude towards Russia. In this context, a euphemism for Jesus, influenced by the meaningless presto-jingo used by conjurors. A connection with the Basque jainko (“god”) has been suggested, but evidence is lacking.
