S
Susan Glenn
- The term "Susan Glenn" is the result of a marketing campaign executed by Axe, the makers of Axe Body Spray. Starting in May 2012, "Susan Glenn" began appearing on various websites - including this one. July 2012 saw the release of video advertisements and the launch of fearnosusanglenn.com, which definitively identified Axe as the creator.
(Interestingly, the definition below from the submitter in San Dimas, CA anticipates the marketing-campaign origin.)
The term hasn't been deleted from this website because Axe's efforts have been successful: this term is now in the vernacular. See the list of tweets containing this term (below) for an illustration.
Because of the interesting origins of this term, the definitions below haven't been edited, and duplicate definitions haven't been combined.Last edited on Sep 17 2012. Submitted by Anonymous on Aug 14 2012.

origin
- One etymological theory is that the term was used by rear gunners in World War Two bombers. As the explanation goes, ammunition belts were nine yards long. When a target was attacked, the machine gunner would sometimes fire "the whole nine yards" of ammunition at the target.
This etymology doesn't appear to be correct. For more information, see the Wikipedia article for "the whole nine yards".Last edited on Aug 19 2012. Submitted by Michael Xavier on Jun 09 2012.
