Gung Ho (Gung-ho) : (특히 싸움·전쟁 등에 대해) 너무 열광하는, 지나치게 열정적인, 과하게 열성적인
1)
this is a phrase that means you are too enthusiastic
without thinking you are incredibly enthusiastic and eager
this is particularly about fighting on warfare but it doesn't have to be
2)
the new boss took over the department but his gung ho attitude led to various different problems
notice, if you describe someone as gung-ho, you are syaing, they are overly zealous and they are extremely enthusiastic but you are being critical
they are maybe a bit reckless
sometimes being gung ho is very good because nobody's expecting it but it can also lead to mistakes
if some of these gung ho to do something, they are extremely enthusiastic about it
but normally it's saying they go over the top
they go gung ho into it, but they don't stop to think about the problems and the pitfalls and the difficulties
I guess you could use gung ho positively as well
although to me, it says you go too far, you are too enthusiastic
3)
when you write an essay you need to go at it quite fast but don't be gung ho about it
becasue if you are gung ho, you will probably start making silly little mistakes
in a military sense, this is extremely keen to be part of the combat to fight in a battle
4)
I often hear the phrase, don't be so gung ho, sotp and consider just a little bit more thought about it
it's normally you are too energetic, too enthusiastic about it
you are not actually looking at the problem
his hung ho way of doing things meant he just charged in there and made decisions willy-nilly without thinking
over enthusiastic
a gung-ho soldiar
you just go straight for it
Formality : 4 - 4.5
