"100%"

[Participant]

When did this become such a common phrase? It's so ******* stupid.

 

[Ayahuasca]

You’re 100% right.

 

[Uther]

First time I've heard it. you need to hang around with a better class of people.
The 1 percenters rather than the 100 percenters perhaps.

 

[tom_e]

Goes hand in hand with the single word response "amazing".

 

[dave28]

There are worst, "hey-ho" for example

 

[Minusorange]

agree

 

[henry hoov3r]

“Everything happens for a reason”

Is far worse.

 

[adidan]

Not as annoying as giving it 110%

Probably popularised by the emoji: 100

When that's progressed to emoji reactions to text messages then it's maybe popularised it.

Pretty sure the emoji is used only because when you type 100 percent, it suggests to reply with the emoji

It might do now but that's not always been the case, it's also a reaction too (doesn't involve typing) - it's probably adding to it tho... like emoji is there, it got used, now when people type 100 it's autosuggested etc..

Trump reducing drug prices 1500%?

 

[iron_monkey]

Loving this thread, 100%.

Hey-ho really makes me grit my teeth

 

[iamdjdz]

100% right, it's stupid on 100% of the occasions that it's used.

 

[Nitefly]

I mean, it is what it is.

 

[Diddums]

This thread is so extra.

 

[Efour]

At the end of the day it is what is, 100%

 

[Diddums]

In South Africa we've used the term "hundreds" as a form of agreement for as long as I can remember. It's short for "I hundred percent agree".


Or if something's perfect, or if someone's full healed up from an injury, that kind of thing.

"Diddums, you did a number on Participant's mum, you sure she can walk?"

"Ja, she's hundreds"

That kind of thing.

"Not gonna lie!" - Did I assume that you were?
