"100% means agreeing with someone all the way. You would say this when you feel the same way as someone. For example, You know what I'm saying though? I really like that girl. 100%. You guys have been together since high school."
What it means
Means you completely agree, full stop, no wobble, no maybe hiding in the bushes. It is a quick way to back what someone just said and show you are fully on the same page. You will hear it in chats, texts, and face to face, especially when a plain yes feels too skinny for the moment.
Usage examples
"You reckon Mariah should've dumped him ages ago? 100%, man. He still texts his ex and turns up late to everything."
"You think we should leave before the storm hits the coast road? 100%, I am grabbing the keys right now."
Where it comes from
The full percentage, nothing missing, borrowed from the language of scores and stats. Spoken in agreement, it means total certainty with zero room left for doubt.
