The Phrase Finder
Meaning
Complete, the whole thing.
Origin
The Phrase Finder is based in Sheffield, England so we have a special interest in this phrase since that's where the eponymous 1990s film is set. No definitive explanation of where the phrase originates has emerged though. The most often repeated is the notion that it derives from the suit hire business of Sir Montague Burton. A complete dress suit, for a wedding etc, would be the Full Monty. Another explanation derives from a Spanish card game where the pile of cards on the table is called a 'monte'. Yet another comes from Field Marshall Montgomery's alleged habit of wearing his full set of medals, or even his alleged insistence on a full English breakfast every day. Although the phrase has been in circulation prior to the film there don't appear to be any instances of it appearing in print before 1986.
Meaning
Rowdy and boisterous.
Origin
Sailors who had had plenty to drink were in this condition. The vinegar may refer to the acidic form that cheap alcohol adopts when drunk, or it may be the vinegar that sailors drank to ward off scurvy.
Meaning
At full speed.
Origin
Jousting was also called titling; contestants who charged at each other did it a 'full tilt'. From the Old English tealt, meaning tottering.
Meaning
Stupid.
Origin
Lacking the required intelligence, as a card game being played with a card missing.
