Gung Ho - Twin Rays

The two Chinese characters forming the word Gung Ho are translated individually as “Work” and “Together”. Linguist Albert Moe studied both the origin and the usage in English of the phrase gung-ho. He concluded that the term is an “Americanism that is derived from the Chinese, but its several accepted American meanings have no resemblance whatever to the recognized meaning in the original language” further explained that  “various linguistic uses, as they have developed in the United States, have been peculiar to American speech.” In Chinese, Moe concluded, “this is neither a slogan nor a battle cry; it is only a name for an organization.”
