it just occured to me...

...how annoying I find it when people constantly use the word "literally," as in "I literally just got here." OR "I literally couldn't believe that he said that. Literally!" What did you think? I thought you had "figuratively" just gotten there? Come on, now.

5 questions, comments, and/or outrageous objections.:

Literally and figuratively.
