| Leatherneck is a military slang term for a member of the United States Marine Corps, or of the British Royal Marines. It is generally believed to originate in the wearing of a leather "stock" or collar around the neck, which kept the posture erect...but this is not the case. It was from a leather collar worn to prevent the Mohammedan cutlass from slashing the throats of U.S. Marines during the Barbary wars. |
