Today's word/phrase:

CHAUVINISM : This is a kind of aggressive patriotism.  The origin of this e xpression is related to one Nicholas  Chauvin.  He was a French soldier who was deeply devoted to Napolean Bonaparte of France. His  mad devotion to the Emperor and his cause was considered an example of exaggerated bellicose  patriotism.
