    I’ve watched all of the Gordon Ramsey Kitchen Nightmares series and it’s full of these, except it’s usually fuckin’ instead of absolute.

    My favorite is when after having lunch he went back to the kitchen to find they were just microwaving everything. The exchange went like this:

    “Did I have anything for lunch that wasn’t microwaved?”

    “your salad”

    “Of course you don’t microwave a salad you fuckin’ donut”

    Equally if you write the word “totally” in front of any noun it means drunk.

    “I’m totally suitcased”

      That’s not a noun, is it.

      Could be a system daemon process though.

    And add absolutely to the front of almost anything to describe how pissed you were. I was absolutely trousered/shedded/etc

      Close!

      This has been a Brit thing for a decade or so, particularly Scots and Northern English. The idea is to use a noun that could already be a slightly insulting word to start with, like ‘potato’ in the example

      You absolute donkey

      You absolute cabbage

      You absolute bin-bag

      You absolute Belgian

      Etc etc

        On a similar note, with an “absolutely” and a word ending in “ed”, you get words which mean “very inebriated/stoned”

        Common

        • absolutely battered
        • absolutely blathered
        • absolutely pissed
        • absolutely wankered
        • absolutely trolleyed
        • absolutely shitfaced
        • absolutely twatted

        Less common

        • absolutely potatoed
        • absolutely cultured
        • absolutely traffic coned
        • absolutely fishcaked
        • absolutely Belgianed
        • absolutely bin-bagged
        • absolutely cabbaged
        • absolutely Tobleroned
