Yes, 'WORD' is emphatic agreement. I wonder what the etymology(?) is though? I first heard this term it was used by educated urban black men from New York City living in Boston in the mid 1990's. In my own mind only, I believe it to be derived from the Christian/Episcopalian response 'The Word of the Lord.'
Wonder how you would look something like that up? ???
