Most currently overused word

My nomination for the word most commonly overused and likely most misused on TV today is:

"Absolutely!"

99+% of the questions asked on TV can be more correctly answered with the one syllable word "Yes"

Webster: "Absolutely: Completely and definitely: without a doubt."
"Yes: An affirmative or consenting reply."

It is absolutely amazing how something like this gets started and becomes universal overnight.

Awesome observation, BB! The wife thinks it's good that someone agrees with she and I.
