    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.

    It seems to be from the Middle Ages according to Wikipedia

    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.

    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".
