[QUOTE="Pointman, post: 2147992, member: 102254"] I believe this was "coined" in WWII when describing the following: The bullets for the machine guns used in American combat planes of WW2 and since were in chains twenty-seven feet in length. Thus if a pilot was able to fire all his bullets off at one target he was said to have given his adversary 'the full [B]nine yards[/B]'. [/QUOTE]
