13$\begingroup$ I must quibble with the accepted answer. I would've said the rebus represented "Absolutely not equal". If the intended answer was "Absolutely not", it should have been ended with a "$\neg$" or a "$\sim$". $\endgroup$– DeepakApr 4, 2016 at 0:55

$\begingroup$ I'd used a similar Rebus with !|ly| since ! denotes complement or Not A. $\endgroup$– ArcaneApr 4, 2016 at 9:45

The phrase would be
Absolutely not

2$\begingroup$ @Deepak FWIW I agree with you. I thought it might actually be "(answer) nothing" but that seemed a bit too specific. $\endgroup$– WillApr 4, 2016 at 1:58

I would say the answer should be "Absolutely not equal".
For "Absolutely not", I would've constructed this rebus:
$\ \ \ |ly| \ \neg$ or $\ \ \ |ly| \ \sim$

$\begingroup$ This answer is better than the other one by Will. $\endgroup$– cst1992Apr 4, 2016 at 9:31

As an alternative to Will's answer,
if the RHS isn't nothing (but what it is isn't specified) and the LHS is absolute-ly,
then surely,
it can be absolutely anything!
