Since when has the word "Absolutely " become so commonly used. A few years ago it was rare to hear it being used. There was a barman in my local years ago who we nicknamed "Absolutely" because he used the word so often. Nowadays anytime there is an interview on television or radio it can be used four or five times in the same interview. !!!

What a crap nickname! I would've shortened it to "Abso".

Mr Big in SATC used to say 'absof******lutely' a lot.

Absolutely annoyed me.

It's what you reply with when someone shouts something in your ear in the pub and you don't hear it.
