Whole nine yards

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.
