the full monty

The phrase "the full monty" refers to giving or experiencing the whole or complete package. It originated from the British slang term for a full three-course meal, specifically referring to breakfast with everything included. It gained further popularity due to the 1997 British comedy-drama film of the same name, where it referred to a group of unemployed workers who decide to perform a striptease act including full nudity. In contemporary usage, "the full monty" generally signifies offering or going all out, leaving nothing behind or withheld.
