It all depends on when they got online. if I wasnt an IRC user I probably would have had to figure out what it meant.Thunderdog wrote:Anyone who is online a lot, and doesent know what that means, needs to be Clobbered over the head with a Golf club.
There are alot acronyms that man different things to different groups, and there are sayings older people use that young people have no idea what they mean like "gave it the whole 9 yards" know what that is referring to?

Good one-the best explaination I know of off-hand would be from when I layed cement 3 years ago. Liquid concrete is mesured by cubic yards in the U.S. "The whole 9 yards" (243 cubic feet) is the holding capacity for a cement mixer so I would assume it means "getting the job done all the way" or "putting in maximum effort." No?
FWIW, most people I know get confused on "HTH HAND" though YMMV.

nine yards Example: This TV comes with Stereo, Picture in Picture, Digital processing, ... , the whole nine yards. (Absolutely everything.)
Origin: When W.W.II fighter pilots in the Pacific were arming their airplanes on the ground, the .50 caliber machine gun ammo belts measured exactly 27 feet, before being loaded into the fuselage. If the pilots fired all their ammo at a target, it got "the whole 9 yards."
