This phrase is fully overused in the English language.
For one thing, it’s impossible to do/give/bring 110 percent. I get tired of hearing people use the phrase to describe their desire for something or their dedication to something as it’s just so freaking trite and meaningless.
It seems to be a common phrase used on reality shows to convince the judges or other teammates not to kick their asses to the curb, even though we, as viewers can clearly see that they’re not even giving 80 percent, let alone a drop more.
Please people, stop using this phrase!
