    Is it just me or are more people using the word "Absolutely" far more than needed?

    The other day I was at a store and the guy said "Absolutely" several times in his pitch. I've heard people use the word several times in recent television shows and this morning on the news I heard it three more times.

    (Anyone who answers with "absolutely" will get smacked in the head!!!)

    No, seriously, I've noticed that too. Out of the alternatives above, I think totally is another one that's overused.

    I just heard it from a radio commentator. Just now.

    Is this going to be the next idiot one word phrase for the year?

    I'll be monitoring the speech habits of people to come for weeks now.

    Something else with which to absolutely waste more of my time.

    I notice that in real life, people say "You know" way too often.
