I don't think the phrase means the threats of a woman, I believe it means the propensity of a woman to speak too much. I think its similar to the saying: Loose lips sink ships.

It means that the the speaker is fearful of a rumored threat, and (as others have pointed out) comes from the classic Wizard of Oz.\n\nThere was no "song" accompanying this quote, though Dorothy, Tin Man, and Scarecrow chanted it rhythmically as they proceeded through the Spooky Forest (I'd turn back if I were you).

I'm not quite sure I understand what you're asking.\nAre you asking what an American would mean by using that phrase in a sentence?\nIf so, it would mean an extremely loud noise ( as in an explosion) that could "shatter the glass". In other words, loud enough to break it.\nOr a high-pitched or very loud voice could cause someone to say, "Her voice is so high, it could shatter (break) glass."

It does mean something like: "The only truth is the finality of death" or "True annihilation lies in Death".\n\nIt is also a phrase used in a type of Heavy Metal music, called "Death Metal", characterized by deep growls, loud bass, and screams.

This phrase, meaning "all of it, everything", dates from at least\nthe 1950s.  The origin is a matter for speculation.  9 yards is not\na particularly significant distance either in football or in the\ngarment business (a man's three-piece suit requires about 7 square\nyards of cloth, and cloth is sold in bolts of 20 to 25 yards).  The\nphrase may refer to the capacity of ready-mix concrete trucks,\nalleged to average about 9 cubic yards.  Some people (e.g., James\nKilpatrick in Fine Print:  Reflections on the Writing Art) have\nsatisfied themselves that the concrete-trucks explanation is the\ncorrect one; but I haven't seen the evidence.  And Matthew Jetmore\nhas unearthed some evidence to the contrary, a passage from the\nAugust 1964 issue of Ready Mixed Concrete Magazine:  "The trend\ntoward larger truck mixer units is probably one of the strongest and\nmost persistent trends in the industry.  Whereas, just a few years\nago, the 4 1/2 cubic yard mixer was definitely the standard of the\nindustry, the average nationwide mixer size by 1962 had increased to\n6.24 cubic yards, with still no end in sight to the demand for\nincreased payload."  The phrase is covered by Cecil Adams in More\nof the Straight Dope, pp. 252-257.  A "canonical collection" of\nexplanations has been compiled by "Snopes" (snopes@netcom.com).\n\n   Michael Nunamaker writes that a friend of his in the U.S. Air\nForce suggested a World War II origin:  "According to him, the\nlength of the ammunition belt (feeding the machine guns) in the\nSupermarine Spitfire was nine yards.  Therefore, when a pilot had\nshot all his ammunition he would say he had 'shot the whole nine\nyards'."

It means roughly, "Stay Baby, Stay Baby. Don't go away again."  or something close to that.

The phrase "the whole nine yards" means "completely, the whole, everything" - e.g.:\n\n"I was mugged. They took my wallet, my keys, my shoes, my coat - the whole nine yards!"\n\nThe origins of the expression are unknown, but various theories are popularly held as to the root of it. One of the more common of these is that the expression dates from the Second World War, where the "nine yards" was the full length of a machine-gun ammunition belt, and to "go the full nine yards" was to use it up in its entirety. The expression, however, has only been dated back to 1966 (in U.S. Air Force slang recorded in Vietnam) and it is unlikely it could have been in common use in the 1940s without being recorded either then or in the next twenty years.\n\nThe phrase could also be attributed to the tailoring industry, in which a quality suit of clothing required nine yards of material. To tailor a quality suit "takes the whole nine yards."\n\nOther suggested origins have included sources as diverse as the size of cement mixers, the length of bridal veils, the manufacture of kilts, the length of cloth bolts, and the structure of certain sailing vessels (where "yard" is short for yardarm, not for the distance).\n\nAnother explanation is that the term is a sarcastic reference to American football, where ten yards is the length of a first down. With running nine yards being no real achievement, to say that someone ran 'the whole nine yards' would be to say that they almost achieved something.\n\nen.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Whole_Nine_Yards

The meaning of the word Heaven is HAPPINESS.  You'll find that the word Paradise means HAPPINESS too.  God is in another dimension that we with flesh eyes cannot see but for those who love Him , He does give a "glimpse" of heaven within ones heart and mind.   When the word cloud is used it means a large gathering;..HE will return in a great cloud means that ALOT of souls will return with Him to this earth and He will GATHER back together His own.  In the air does not mean atmosphere,...It means THE BREATH OF LIFE which God is that breath of life.

Clouds are water vapor. Think of it like a pocket of fog in the sky.

It's Tempest in a Teacup and it came from Shakespeare, I think.  It means something that's been blown out of proportion.
