I kid you not
Language: English
Part of speech: phrase
Forms: form: I shit you not
form: I fuck you not
Etymology: Earliest known use is from November 3, 1943 on The Centenary Conglomerate.
A print reference of the phrase appeared in 1948 in the International Stereotypers' and Electrotypers' Union Journal, Volume 43:
Boy!, Oh Boy! I said I asked for a headache when I volunteered for this job, and I kid you not when I repeat it.
It next appeared as a phrase spoken by Lieutenant Commander Philip Francis Queeg in Herman Wouk's 1951 Pulitzer Prize-winning novel, "The Caine Mutiny":
That's the Navy for you. Pass the buck and get a receipt. Act at discretion, hey? Well that's exactly what I'm going to do, and I kid you not.
It was later popularized by Jack Paar, host of The Tonight Show from 1957 to 1962, who used this as his signature phrase. It humorously combines the colloquial verb kid with the archaic negation through not without do-support. Compare believe you me.
Senses: examples: text: ...I leaf through the stack of magazines they've got, and one of them — I kid you not — one of them is a Naughty Nurses magazine.

text: Therefore the falsely masculine cling to the skirts of the Diabolic for fear that they should be obliged to come to terms, one way or another, with God's just retribution, whereas the genuinely masculine, who are still fearful of God and therefore theoretically faithful unto the possibility of godliness, remain open to the possibility of light as the redemption of heat and master of motion, remain open, in short, to the possibility of God and of divine deliverance from the world and all that would deny such deliverance in favour of that false relationship between Man and the Devil, antihumanity and devility, which far from conjoining pluralism with monism bespeaks a double pluralism the only outcome of which is the denial of monism on both phenomenal and, especially, noumenal terms.

Dreuze could congratulate himself on the success of his invention; but with wet weather came bad roads, and to the wet succeeded frost and snow. A little extra labour was all that was required to overcome the extra friction of the bad roads, but the wheels refused to progress on the slippy frozen surface.
