"100%"

According to Wikipedia, the ancient Romans used fractions of 1/100, which are basically percentages. So there were probably Romans wandering about saying “C percentus!” to signify their agreement to things.

Decimated - to destroy one-tenth of something, usually a person, as a warning to the others.

Decimation (punishment) - Wikipedia

So anyone saying that Gaza has been decimated is absolutely not doing it justice…

 
Noticed 'if that makes sense' used a lot more particularly after saying something very easy to understand.

“I could care less about that”

Couldn’t. You COULDN’T care less about it. Please think about the words you’re using.
 
It’s a handy way nowadays to tell when someone is lying because after they make a statement they say ‘100%’ to give it some credibility.

Sadly OP you are a little late to the party

100%

Why is this a thing? The sorts of people who say it are generally the BS’ers of life who expect you to believe them when they add this to the end of their sentence. How can you believe such a person when they also have 1000% in their armoury? Or even one million percent? Is saying 100% a bit...

Not as stupid as some people saying they gave it 110% or others saying they'll reduce drug prices by 600%.
 
It comes from music I think, it became quite a common lyric "keep it 100" etc. And there's that 100 emoji everyone uses for it
