niner
Aviator's spoken numeral
Niner is the NATO phonetic alphabet word for the number nine, used in radio communications to distinguish it from the similar-sounding "five" (fiver): Request clearance to flight level niner-zero.
The term appears most often in aviation and military contexts.
In American football slang, a Niner is a San Francisco 49ers player or fan.
