Dance Information

The full monty is a British slang phrase of uncertain origin meaning 'the whole lot'.

An American equivalent might be 'the whole ball of wax' or 'the whole enchilada'. It is generally used to mean "'everything which is necessary, appropriate, or possible; 'the works'", and has been in common usage in the north of England for many years.

An equivalent Scottish phrase is 'the whole nine yards' coming from the length of material required to make a full sized kilt.

The Full Monty is also a 1997 British comedy film which tells the story of six unemployed men, who decide to form a male striptease act. In the final frames of the film the six men remove every single item of clothing.
