Apsolutely (sic) fantastic

If ever there was a phrase that's lost all meaning surely this is it?

You can well nigh guarantee that when someone on TV is asked by a sports commentator how they feel about some minor achievement, or by some garden or house make-over specialist how they react to the transformation, they will utter the now thoughtless "apsolutely (sic) fantastic".

With so many alternative and highly descriptive adjectives available the word "lazy" springs all too readily to mind.
