: The Full Monty
: The first time I became aware of this phrase was in a bookshop in 1994 as the title of the comedian Jim Davidson's autobiography. I immediately understood the meaning, but assumed the root was rhyming slang for Montessori / story. Has anyone else come up with this interpretation? Just trying the system.
