In this video, we trace how “cloud nine” quietly formed over time, shaped less by a single origin and more by repeated use, shifting habits, and shared understanding. It’s not just about where the phrase came from, but how it managed to stay.

Very interesting and informative explanation about cloud 9. Being the highest cloud, it makes sense that it would represent the highest feeling of happiness.
There was a really popular song by The Temptations called Cloud Nine back in the 70's. I think that solidified Cloud nine into our lexicon. I enjoy learning. Thank you Mel.
