    Chauvinism (pronounced /ˈʃoʊvɨnɪzəm/) is extreme and unreasoning partisanship on behalf of a group to which one belongs, especially when the partisanship includes malice and hatred towards a rival group.

    Or, just for the sake of being un-American, spread-eagleism. :rock:

    I didn't think such a thing existed. You are clearly at a decent uni which you can be proud of being a part of and not a half baked excuse for an education institution. God damn my A-level slacking :wallbash:

    and as such i will suggest "misplaced"

    Partisanship.
    To show dedication and appreciation to the destination for your education. Celebration! All across the nation!

    Ok, it means to take pride in your conglomerate/party/institution/etc. At least that is how I have been using it to this point. The dictionary.com definition is a bit suspect to me, but, I can assure you it's the word you are looking for.

    Disease, a state of disease, as always when humans identify themselves with what they are not, be it football teams, graphics cards (we're at Bittech so..), cars and so on.
