It comes from 'dressed to the nines' I guess - to dress up well or formal. In this context it means 'the most' or the best/maximum. | |

The phrases 'to the nines', or 'to the nine', were used to indicate perfection - the highest standards. That was in use in the 18th century, as here from William Hamilton's Epistle to Ramsay, 1719:
"How to the nines they did content me." | |

hehehe i haven't heard or used this in real life before but i would say when something is given a 10 out of 10 is it good? it's about 100%.. so it's gotta be good how about 9/10? perhaps 2 the 9's? almost a perfect 10 You saw the apple

Love 2 the 9's is high on the tree of love ya know...It means that after U've been together A million days and a million nights, U still care what Ur lover has to share with U...And when there is nothing to share but silence...It is the most comfortable place U can be.

In addition to making use of the cliché meaning "the very best," I always have thought P was making reference to the numerology of "9," the number that goes on forever, or "for all time.". Ex: 9+9=18, 1+8=9. 9x3=27, 2+7=9. Etc. | |
