Thus when the diva came onstage to sing her final aria, indicating the opera was complete, the whole nine yards had made its appearance. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thus when the diva came onstage to sing her final aria, indicating the opera was complete, the whole nine yards had made its appearance. After hearing this discussion on several blogs and sites, I did a pretty intense search (obviously there were several people who made that search before me because the information was quite easy to find) and the FIRST known/recorded usage of the term 'full nine yards' was in medical journals referring to bandages. This excerpt from the “International Clinics / A Quarterly Of Clinical Lectures. Vol III. Fourth Series 1894' is the first referral known and the referral was repeated 3 more times in that journal. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DAKA Posted June 20, 2021 Share Posted June 20, 2021 I'd like to have a few words with the "engineer" who thought it would be a good idea to put the stove burner controls on the back of the stove, so you have too reach over the boiling pot to adjust the temperature 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
