"Giving 110%"

Impossible. Can't be done. Not even for Lord Sugar or whatever that noxious little pinstriped gnome likes to be called these days. Percentages finish at a hundred. They can't go any higher, no matter how many things you sell to people. Percentages don't go to eleven. A hundred is all you've got and if that's not enough, you're "if you see Kay Ed e".

That clever sweary thing took 100% effort and might have taken more if more had been available. Which it wasn't.

'See you later' from some person (usually a random salesperson) I've never met before in my life and am unlikely to meet again. I feel like seizing them by the throat and demanding to know whether they're spying on me. Angry

Or finding out way they live and stalking them and then saying 'You were right, you would see me later'.

A scene from Happy Days when the Fonz jumps over a shark on water skies.

It's the one unique moment when a TV show goes down hill and won't come back.

Last of The Summer Wine went down hills constantly and come back again

Like a badly digested kebab

I once saw a guy in a bakery buy some sausage rolls by pointing at them and saying ... "I'll take a couple of those bad boys, please."

The context may have helped. You have no idea what he was going to use them for.
