I heard today that planes in WWII with mounted guns, that the length of the ammo strip that got fed through them was 9 yards long. That is supposedly where the term “Give ‘em the whole 9 yards came from. Never heard that before.

I always thought it’s a full cement truck.

The term first appeared in 1858 in cricket, to describe H. H. Stephenson taking three wickets with three consecutive deliveries. Fans held a collection for Stephenson, and presented him with a hat bought with the proceeds.[2][full citation needed] The term was used in print for the first time in 1865 in the Chelmsford Chronicle.[3][non-primary source needed] The term was eventually adopted by many other sports including hockey, association football,[4] Formula 1 racing, rugby, and water polo.

One Montreal haberdasher called “ Henri Henri ” claims they coined the phrase after they began rewarding all players who scored three goals during one game at the Montreal Forum with a free hat.

That almost looks like a Hinckley. But it isn’t, is it?

The hat trick goes back to hunting on the Scottish countryside. It meant bringing down a quail, a pheasant, and a third animal which I forget, all in the same day. Three scores, if you will.

Looks like a Back Cove. We owned one, great boat.

The phrase goes back to the mid-19th century, long before cement trucks or belt-fed machine guns, and apparently started out as “the whole six yards”. The truth is that nobody really seems to know how it originated.

For me, I feel trapped, like I am not free to leave.

I feel that way on cruise ships. I like smaller boats for fishing and stuff. Just the cat and me, usually.
