The "Whole Nine Yards" is a saying from either World Wars. Bullet magazines that were loaded onto the airplanes' guns were literally nine yards. Therefore, "going the whole nine yards" means using all of the ammo from that one clip without stopping.

Today it now means "the whole thing" or "to the full extent"... Source
