207: gung ho Jul 3, 2015
"Gung ho" is a post positive adjective, and derives from a misunderstood
Chinese motto used in WWII. The word comes the interpretation of the
Chinese (Beijing) word, 'gōnghé', short for "Zhōngguó Gōngyè Hézuò Shè",
which just means "Chinese Industrial Cooperative Society". 'Gōnghé' was
interpreted as meaning "work together" when adopted by certain United
States marines, originally used to discuss soldiers.
