"Nines and tens" is an expression used to describe something that is nearly perfect or of very high quality. It can be used to describe a person's performance, clothing, or appearance.
I recall that Dudley Moore told us this when meeting Bo Derek in the 1979 film '10'.

My Ex once had a dream before Christmas, about receiving pearl earings with a pearl necklace, a diamond broache and finger rings. She then said ,"what do you think the dream means?" I said lets see what Santa brings you for Christmas?"
I bought her a book on, how to Interprate Dreams!
Yep that is why she is now my Ex.
Merry Christmas to one and all at SDC.Regards

Funny, I always thought it was a measure of how desperate the person giving the assessment was to get the recipient into bed.
