The ammo belt (or belts? multiple machine guns) was about 27 feet long. I wonder if the Brady Bunch ever gave anybody 'the whole nine yards, and if they are now ashamed of it. @ Dixie, “the whole nine yards” refers to the entire belt of ammunition for the machine guns on (I believe) a P-51 Mustang fighter, used extensively in WWII.

Basketball is already filled with such metaphores. Such as one of the pastime's nicknames. Some people call the game itself "shootin' hoops". The act of throwing is "shooting". Someone knocking the ball out of the air has "blocked the shot". I am surprised no one mentioned this yet so I’ll “take a shot at it”.

Keep your powder dry. Kentucky windage. Under pressure. Proofed. Give it the gun. Stick to your guns. Spiked. Under the gun. Set your sights on (object). And, of course, sun of a gun. /Philbert, I thought "the whole nine yards" was in relation to kilts? Bullseye!

You had to hit the nail square on the head to drive them in. I forget where I read this.
