PATRIOTISM

[/ˈpætriətˌɪzəm/]

Definition

Combustible rubbish ready to the torch of any one ambitious to illuminate his name.

Additional notes

In Dr. Johnson's famous dictionary patriotism is defined as the last resort of a scoundrel. With all due respect to an enlightened but inferior lexicographer I beg to submit that it is the first.
