Rule of thumb.

I don't know who was allowed to do this, but in some cultures, you could beat your wife with a stick. As long as it was not any thicker than your thumb.

The whole nine yards.

Why not the whole ten yards, since you need ten yards in football to get a first down? Well, in WWII, when fighter pilots where expecting a big fire fight, they would get a full battle load or a whloe nine yards of belted ammuntion!
