[quote]Originally posted by tree68 A little research on-line plus your aviation lead-in would lend one to believe that the origin you are thinking of has to do with the RAF. According to what I've read, it had to do with the length of the ammo belt on the Spitfire being 27 feet long. If a fighter pilot emptied his guns, he had used "the whole nine yards". Go Air Force!

But whichever country and whichever plane, it still is an interesting story. [:)] I don't know about yall, but I love history and these little bits of info are very interesting to me. Anyone having another phrase please feel free to put it here. Oh boy, I can't wait. [:D] [;)]
