Defined as, "exaggerated, blind patriotism (base word chauvinism)," the word chauvinist is now often used to describe someone who is particularly sexist. The word was coined after the 18th-century French soldier named Nicolas Chauvin. It is not clear if Chauvin was a real person or merely a character, but the story goes he stayed fiercely loyal to the French Empire and Army despite their overthrow and a number of crippling injuries to his self.
