100% or 110%
 
Well, it has came aware to me that many people use different 'sayings'.
If you were giving it your 'all' doing something, (sports, tests, whatever) Would you say you gave it 100% or 110% (120% etc.) ??

Explain to me Why, Because 110% doesn't make sense.

One hundred percent effort. I can't give more effort then all of it.

More importantly, who cares

My thoughts exactly, but if i WERE to care, I'd have to say 90%, becuase i'll NEVER give my fullest, becuase that just makes me feel like shit when it sucks.

Although I never say either, people never go around saying they gave it 90% of their effort, so when they try they say 100%, but that leaves no distinction for any more effort, so when they do something they the REALLY put their heart into, it could be considered 110%. Its just an expression, although u cant give 110%. There are a lot of phrases in our language that cant be taken literaly but still have value.

123.5543 %

because of the interest.

Acer 2004-06-18 01:26 PM

I say 110%, it is just saying your going to give your all. It isn't meant to make sense

WetWired 2004-06-18 01:47 PM

110% of your usual effort, maybe?

D3V 2004-06-18 02:11 PM

. How can you give 110% ? Wtf, your body's maximum potential can ONLY go to 100%. All of it, unless you have a bioanical penis, or something, you cannot give 110%. Its mathamatically impossible. Even even your highest standard was raised, people aren't math problems, they can't be raised higher than their maximum, it just doesn't work.

symnzXx 2004-06-18 02:38 PM

It's an expression. Get over it.

WetWired 2004-06-18 02:47 PM

What part of 110% of usual do you not understand? Most people to not work at their limits under nominal conditions, probably more like 85% of possible. So if you give 110% of usual, you're giving 110% of 85%, or 1.10*.85=.935

Titusfied 2004-06-18 04:00 PM

I don't think that is what he is referring to anyway...

I say 110% so that people know I am trying to exceed my maximum output. It doesn't make logical sense, but you get the point. And if you don't, I pity you. True pity.

Pity.

Wow, wuts ur IQ?

Everyone else summed it up. It just a saying to make wut u did sound better.

D3V 2004-06-18 09:16 PM

I know its an expression. But when people say it, it makes them look stupid. (Usually retarted ogar football players who didn't pass 6th grade)

Penny_Bags 2004-06-18 09:46 PM

It's a saying for fucking jackasses that need to be castrated faster than rabies ridden bulls with ass herpes.

Anyways, I'd say who the fuck cares, if you couldn't guess.

You should talk... you are one dumb fucker.

Machine God 2004-06-18 11:02 PM

Also, 100 percent is your full. But what about when you are in, say, some sort of danger. Adrenaline gives you extra strength, hence you can give 110 percent or even more!

D3V 2004-06-18 11:09 PM

No, the 'adrenaline' would be in its own category.

Penny_Bags 2004-06-19 12:15 AM

Well aren't you just a regular fucking genious.
