American slang for a US Marine, and one of the most enduring military nicknames in the language. The term dates back to the leather stock collar Marines once wore around their necks — either to enforce upright posture or protect against sword slashes, depending on who you ask. Today 'leatherneck' is worn as a badge of pride by Marines themselves.
