Close!
This has been a Brit thing for a decade or so, particularly Scots and Northern English. The idea is to use a noun that could already be a slightly insulting word to start with, like 'potato' in the example
You absolute donkey
You absolute cabbage
You absolute bin-bag
You absolute Belgian
Etc etc
On a similar note, with an "absolutely" and a word ending in "ed", you get words which mean "very inebriated/stoned"

"absolutely" in this context can be replaced by "pure" if you're a weegie
I think houseplant and fishtank kind of work in this context.
"You absolute melt" is my favourite. Uttered by a GBBO baker about himself in the latest episode.
