niner (plural niners)

1. (informal) Something nine inches long. (Can we add an example for this sense?)
2. (in the singular) The digit 9 in the NATO phonetic alphabet.

In the NATO phonetic alphabet, the two-syllable pronunciation avoids confusion with five and nein. The spelling, however, remains nine.^[2]
