I was just thinking more about linguistic strengthening the other day.
Like, nowadays to agree, everyone says "one hundred percent," to convey in a fresh way complete and total agreement.
Like end of this summer or early fall, though, I was chit-chatting with my one (skinny) (skittish) (undergrad) front neighbor, and when he went to verbally signal agreement, he was like, "One thousand percent."
It seems that at least for some people, "one hundred percent" isn't good enough any more!
