No, no, no, "The Whole 9 Yards" is a referance to Football, (American)
where the Offense has to move Ten yards to continue their chance
to get a goal, and if they get all 9, they can punt it/get the last
yard. Very rare for a team to go 9 yards in one go. Thus "Go the
Whole 9 Yards" means "Do Your Best Work Yet"
