"The whole ten yards" is another old military phrase… Not as old as this one tho. During WWII fighter planes were armed with 50 cal machine guns. The belts of ammo for those guns were 10 yards long. If I pilot really ripped into an enemy plane, he would give it "the whole ten yards" (of ammo) or he all he had.

 

The correct phrase is actually "the whole 9 yards".  You are correct in all the rest, but it was a 9 yard belt of ammo.

VJP , you are correct here...each belt of .50 cal was 27 feet long...If you used all your ammo, you gave 'em the whole 9 yards..

Of course, a P51 Mustang had six .50 cals, each one with a 27 foot belt..

in that case Pygmy shouldn't the phrase be changed to the whole 54 yards?

My honor I offered,

[Pygmy]

Only if you are flying a P51.. Some other fighters had different numbers of guns.

I don't know if the belts for bomber guns had the same number of rounds or not. Very possibly they did. I'll have to check that out. Some bombers such as the B 17 and the B29 had a dozen or more guns, and some fighters were equipped with cannon ( such as the 20 MM and larger) also.

Must suck to get the whole 54 yards from someone.

Hey. If any of you are looking for any last-minute gift ideas for me, I have one. I'd like Frank Shirley, my boss, right here tonight. I want him brought from his happy holiday slumber over there on Melody Lane with all the other rich people and I want him brought right here...with a big ribbon on his head! And I want to look him straight in the eye, and I want to tell him what a cheap, lying, no-good, rotten, four-flushing, low-life, snake-licking, dirt-eating, inbred, overstuffed, ignorant, blood-sucking, dog-kissing, brainless, dickless, hopeless, heartless, fat-ass, bug-eyed, stiff-legged, spotty-lipped, worm-headed sack of monkey shit he is!

What's the difference (if there even is one) between a Hoe Down and a Hoot and Nanny?  Not a phrases.  I'm seriously asking a question.

 

Hoedown is Americana for Shindig and Hootenanny is actually a Scottish word that one of its meaning is Shindig.

 

Shindig is a English word meaning.......celebration.
