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.
