Not sure if anyone will see this reply since the thread appears stale... but the "9-yards" expression was coined during World War II. The fighter pilots who went on strafing runs loaded their onboard machine guns with belts of ammunition. Each belt was 9 yards in length. If the pilot dumped the entire belt into his target, he was said to give it "the whole 9 yards"
