"I was so upset that Hillery lost, I literally cried". "The light turned red, so I literally slammed on my brakes". OK, I give up. What celebrity started doing this? https://litreactor.com/columns...u-were-getting-wrong Don't get me started on "Muzzle Brake" vs. "Muzzle Break". | ||

The librarian said it was literally literal.  I still couldn't give a shit what celebrities say even if I were given a laxative.If your firearm has a muzzle break, you need to buy another one. | |||

The worst offenders are those who use the term "literally" when they mean "figuratively", which admittedly does not sound as emphatic. "I literally went ballistic!" I see, so you launched yourself through the air at 32 feet per second squared? Is your name Super Dave Osbourne? | |||

I thought you were going to refer to when people say things like they've "literally died." The examples you posted aren't incorrectly used.

He didn't literally say it was used incorrectly. His OP title is a protest of the overuse of it. Literally. You only have integrity once. - imprezaguy02 | |||
