I am sorry I can’t provide a link, but turn on Wireless 4 any day of the week, especially during Money Box and You And Yours, and I guarantee you will hear some old bag screech the word “ABSOLUTELY!!”
You know the type. She went to “uni” always says “Thanks for having me on” before she starts her speech which always begins with “So-…”. Citizen Advice Bureau wimminz, “influencers” (aka ponces who want free stuff), company spokeswimmiz they all say “abs-so-lutee-lee!”. Many of them are in middle age but they all sound about 16, shrill and ever-so-enthusiastic. It happens to be a favourite of wimmiz MPs as well.
Can the BBC not call a ban on that word?. How about “quite” or “correct” or “I agree” or just an austere “Yes” , please no more fucking absolutelies. And why, since they are not being paid for their appearance why thank the fucking BBC for “having them on”. I would say “May I say to you, how generous of me is it to grace your tatty programme without a fee”
Is the word overused on the radio? – Absolutely!!!!!
