The term "The Whole Nine Yards" is rumored to come from WWII fighter pilots saying "I gave them the whole nine yards".

The belts of ammo in the planes came in nine yard lengths.

Homosexuality stayed on the list of mental illnesses of the American Psychiatric Association until 1973 . As did witchcraft, hysteria, alcoholism, lefthandedness, drapetomania, and demonic possession.
