Absotively Posilutely


a term coined in the 1988 disney film ” oliver and co.” for those cats that are just too cool for school and have mad amounts of street saviore faire.
dodger: and once you got the beat,
you can do anything.

oliver: i can?

dodger: absotively posilutely!
a confirmation, made whimsical from swapping word-endings… the usage goes back at least as far as “dirty duck”, a comic strip (graphic novel) written by bobby london in the 1970’s, including the tag line: “posilutely, weevil!” “absotively, mr. duck!”.

this, in turn, refers back to the theme song by the gallagher and shean vaudeville act (big in the 1922 zigfield follies), each stanza ending in a punchline, and followed by shean’s query, “absolutely, mister gallagher?” and gallagher’s reply, “positively, mister shean!”
blunting the offense of doubting someone: “you’ll be on time, then? absotively?”, “oh, posilutely!” (absotively posilutely)
just like saying “absolutely, positively” but when you want to be weird and be like hannah montana, disney channel]’s brat pop princess.

pr: ab-so-tiv-ly (ee sound) pos-e-lute-ly
girl 1: you wanna go clubbing?

girl 2: absotively posilutely!
