One hundred percent

Mortelaro

When did people start using this phrase '100%' I'm hearing it all over the shop lately in peoples answers to everything
'Oh yeah one hundred percent '
It's an awful habit of a phrase and its spreading in my opinion

It's been fairly widespread for at least 40 years.

I agree

It seems to be from the Middle Ages according to Wikipedia

I'm with the OP 110%.

What shop? could be relevant.

Sure that's nothing, literally everytime I have any media on, it's all literally this and literally that.
It's literally non-stop. Literally even when it isn't appropriate.
Am 101% convinced it's literally become the most overused word, like, literally ever, like, for sure.

Id take 100% any day over A1. Had that a few times.

I often save 100% when I go shopping, by buying nothing!

Years ago a contestant on Who Wants To Be a Millionaire phoned a friend. The friend told the contestant what he thought the answer was and the contestant asked "are you 100% sure?". The friend replied "I'm as 100% sure as I can be".
