300

Three hundred exactly

Three hundred, a round number often used as a benchmark or threshold.

In bowling, 300 is a perfect game—twelve consecutive strikes.

The film *300* popularized the number as shorthand for the Spartans at Thermopylae.

In slang, 300 sometimes signals something impressive or extreme: That workout was 300.
