Chauvinism

	Nicholas Chauvin was supposed to have been a soldier in
Napoleon's army.  After the downfall of his emperor, Chauvin displayed
such exaggerated loyalty and patriotism that he was held up to ridicule.
In 1831 the Cogniard brothers wrote a play, La Cocarde Tricolore, in
which a young recruit named Chauvin sang couplets expressing enthusiasm
for national supremacy and military glory. 
			(Words Words Words, Marvin Zucherman)

According to the story, Chauvin was awarded a sum of money from
Napoleon for his injury and spent the rest of his life telling everyone
how great Napoleon was.
