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"

Common

absolutely battered
absolutely blathered
absolutely pissed
absolutely wankered
absolutely trolleyed
absolutely shitfaced
absolutely twatted

Less common

absolutely potatoed
absolutely cultured
absolutely traffic coned
absolutely fishcaked
absolutely Belgianed
absolutely bin-bagged
absolutely cabbaged
absolutely Tobleroned

"absolutely" in this context can be replaced by "pure" if you're a weegie

"You absolute melt" is my favourite. Uttered by a GBBO baker about himself in the latest episode.

I think houseplant and fishtank kind of work in this context.
