If it's any consolation, I've been playing chess for 40 years and I've never heard the expression "pinned to"; we just say a piece is pinned (it cannot or shouldn't move) or that an attacking piece pins another one. I've never heard of "absolute" pin either, imho it seems like the wording could be simplified.
