99.9% of Cosplayers are attractive, well-adjusted human beings. FACT!
99.9% of Cosplayers are attractive, well-adjusted human beings. FACT!

A figure expressing absolute certainty, but leaving a slight chance of doubt to cover one's ass in the event that one happens to be talking out of it. Much like the at least 100 years ago clause, but used by anyone from advertisers to ignorant forum trolls, in an attempt to validate an arguement otherwise based on hearsay and assumption. 99.9% of the time, 99.9% holds no factual grounds, which as a matter of fact doesn't ensure any lulz, since the people desperately trying to cover up their Green Day-inspired lies are usually not worth caring about anyhow.

[edit] Typical usage

  • "99.9% of the time Wolverine would pwn Spider-Man kekekekeke"
  • "Guaranteed to kill 99.9% of all germs!!!"
  • "99.9% of teen marijuana usage is attributed to bad parenting."

[edit] In contrast to "100% sure"

To be "100% sure" of something, is to have no question in your mind that what you believe you know to be true. If someone says they are "100% sure" of something, chances are they are 100% full of shit.
