The saying "go tell the Marines" is believed to have originated in the British Royal Navy during the late 18th or early 19th century. It was a common phrase used to mock or dismiss someone who was telling an unlikely or exaggerated story, suggesting that only the Marines would believe it. Over time, the expression spread to other English-speaking countries, including the United States.
