This is an empty headed non-concept. No one can give more that 100%. Saying he (or) she gave it 110 percent is also saying the person who gave it 100 percent still could have (or should have) given more. What nonsense! If anything using this phrase is NEGATIVE, a put down of everyone else participating.
If I give 110 percent to this project, I will successfully be able to squeeze 10 percent more energy out of every battery than is scientifically possible.
