Idioms Thursday

When my schedule goes through constant changes I find having a little structure helps me out. So, in this summer of adjustments, I have decided I will try:

Links Tuesday
Idioms Thursday and
History Friday.

I hope you enjoy.

Now, onto today's idiom (or idioms. Sometimes there are several that are relate you know).

The Whole Shebang (informal)
the whole of something, including everything that is connected with it.
The party's next week but my parents are organizing the whole shebang.

Whole Shebang (spoken)
all of something, including everything connected with it.
The Whole Nine Yards
We've got offices all over the world, and we're tying the whole shebang together with a high-speed computer network.

I would sign these "Include" with emphasis showing the enormity of "all".
