I always heard that General Montgomery, commander of the British forces during WW II, demanded a "Full English Breakfast" every day no matter what the circumstances of the war. The British, always fast to generate new slang or catch phrases, began to refer to the meal as the Full Monty and thence to anything that was total or even over the top.
