Absolutely anything except 50% (3,4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

not half

I believe this is a double definition.

'absolutely' is the first definition.
(both can mean 'extremely')

'anything except 50%' is the second definition.
(I've seen this before)

(Other definitions for not half that I've seen before include "missing 50%" , "less than fifty per cent" , "Very much, greatly" , "Forty nine per cent" , "Oh, yes!" .)

I've seen this clue in The Daily Express.
