Why did this phrase come into use? And when did people start using it? Anyone know? ******* "Happiness is not something ready made. It comes from your own actions. ~Dalai Lama | ||

Good question! I found this, online though I don't have any idea if it is correct: "'believe you me!' a vaguely emphatic, somewhat conventional catchphrase of C20. Granville notes that 'this is the [naval] Gunnery Instructor's emphasis to any statement. 'Believe you me, that is the only way to do the job.'" | |||
