The Whole Nine Yards

A term dating back to World War 2 referring to a fighter pilot using up all of his ammunition attempting to bring down an enemy plane, the ammunition belts the guns used being nine yards in length on average, hence the term.

I gave him The Whole Nine Yards, and he still wouldn't go down!
