The only time I use "Oh, absolutely" is when someone says something I think sounds pompous and I want to have a private joke at their expense.

It's not that weird. I'd guess you do that when the question contains some kind of active concern, like "OMG did you remember to turn off the oven?" The answer is "yes, I did," but it still makes some sense to say "no, no," as in "no, don't worry about that."

Some Romance languages use specific words to mean stuff like, umm ... you ask a negative question ("Don't you have any money?") and a certain word in response kinda means "Actually YES, that is incorrect, I do have money." Also the other way around -- "yes, I concur with your negative statement, the answer is no." Half the time we're just sorting these out with tone of voice, and usually omitting words: every "no, yeah, no, I did" makes perfect sense if you expand it to "no (don't worry), yeah (I took care of that), no (really no problem), I did."

"Is it true that you don't have any money?"

- Yes, it is true that I do not have any money
- No, I do not have any money, that is correct

(Just given the "yes" or the "no" you could tell the difference via tone of voice.)

(Actually, the better example is just: "You don't have any money?" In everyday usage yes/no are totally up in the air on that one.)

No, no, that's right.

For example, after my wife's open art studio show, douche art professor with long gray ponytail (who seemed to be hitting on my wife:

Douche: What was so wonderful to me about the show was that every artist had such a strong individual voice.

Me: Oh absolutely

In this case, it is excusable.

That's a good one.

mmm hmm

right on

Uh huh.

And has each of them a distinct function like the parts of the face;-the eye, for example, is not like the ear, and has not the same functions; and the other parts are none of them like one another, either in their functions, or in any other way? I want to know whether the comparison holds concerning the parts of virtue. Do they also differ from one another in themselves and in their functions? For that is clearly what the simile would imply.

No, no Socrates, that's right, they differ.
Then, I said, no other part of virtue is like knowledge, or like justice, or like courage, or like temperance, or like holiness?

No, no, that's right, he answered.
Well then, I said, suppose that you and I enquire into their natures. And first, you would agree with me that justice is of the nature of a thing, would you not? That is my opinion: would it not be yours also?

Verily.

Ponytail also said, to me, after asking my wife a long string of questions, "I hope you don't mind, it's just that I'm a teacher, you know, Socratic method"

oh absolutely

I suppose that is much better than a face punch, which would be my strong temptation (for the ponytail alone!). However, an over-their-head subtle zing is always a keen private pleasure.

lol hurting.

Nabisco, do you have a lot of conversations about not having money?

a-yuh.

'Taint corn - it's dope! Here, take a bushel home for the wife."

Indeedio.

Then, I said, no other part of virtue is like knowledge, or like justice, or like courage, or like temperance, or like holiness?

No, no, that's right, he answered.

This one makes perfect sense, though: the "no" part is quite reasonably saying "no, no other part of virtue is like knowledge, etc., I agree completely!"

You know what would be really funny? If you said, 'Oh, absolutely', and then punched him in the face.
