The actual origin of the phrase "the whole nine yards" originates from late 19th century explosive mining methods, where a "whole nine yards" of safety fuse would be used(The maximum length that could be reliably used without burning out before igniting the dynamite) in the case of a huge detonation, hence longer fuses give you more time to get the fuck out of there.

Person 2: Wow, I haven't seen that bitch in like 40 winrar days.
Kurzgesagt: The inevitable heat death of the universe is over a trillion quadrillion billion years away.
Person 3: Damn, atleast my 40 day winrar trial will still live on.
