the whole shebang
All of it
The whole shebang means everything involved in a situation or endeavor—the complete package.
The word shebang rarely appears without whole: We're selling the house, the furniture, the whole shebang.
It emphasizes totality, often with a note of exasperation or finality: I'm done with this job, the commute, the politics—the whole shebang.
