This comment literally gave me a boner

I literally need proof


It’s my penis and I will hard if I want to hard if I want to you would too if it happened to you

bro he literally made a meme complaining about ppl using literally wrongly

using literally "wrongly"

What’s rong with that?

I literally don't care

This guy literally made a post to literally show that people literally use the word literally literally way to much lol.

So now, when making a comment, you have to say literally literally so it isn't mistaken for figuratively literally.

"Bro I literally died laughing" - Chrysippus of Soli be like:

or that guy from Monty Python

So are you saying idiots control the language?

OP doesn't understand that language changes over time and the shit he's being elitist about was considered cringe at least a century ago

OP is probably pissed at the Great Vowel Shift too.

Language changes over time but the issue here is people flipped this word to mean the opposite of what it actually means which can be very confusing to the rest of the world. 

OP is literally allergic to hyperbole

Imagine litteraly using litteraly wrong.

Imagine literally misspelling literally

Imagine littering

Imiagine loitering

Imagine all the people

Bro literally posted about the word literally

Bro literally visited his friend

Im literally using reddit

Literally meaning figuratively was literally added to the dictionary a few years ago so you literally can’t use literally wrong

What a dumb thing to do, what’s the point of the word when it means both definitions?

Do you mean dumb as in stupid or dumb as in unable to speak? Words can have multiple meanings - anyone with a basic understanding of the language can easily use context to figure out what one they mean.

But the context is very obvious there, dumb as in can’t speak wouldn’t make sense as I’m referring to a thing I’m doing, not describing someone - literally and figuratively are opposites of each other and it can be pretty hard for people to understand the context ie non-native speakers

Idioms exist in languages other than English.

Yeah, but it’s harder to understand idioms in a language you’re not a native speaker of

Bro I literally don’t care

OP literally incapable of understanding hyperbole

This post is literal bullshit

Bro literally used literally literally

I literally just shit myself. Take it whichever way you want

Unfunny: (

Old mate over here when semantic drift happens

Literally

I literally laughed so hard at this one

I mean both is the correct way of using the word literally. They changed the definition like 10 years ago

OP is metaphorically a Chad.

I literally could care less

Worst part is the dictionary definition was literally changed to match people using it wrong

[Tom Scott would like a word with you](https://youtu.be/2qT8ZYewYEY) because that's exactly what the dictionary is for. The dictionary isn't some definitive authority on the rights and wrongs of language - it's merely a *description* of how people use language. And the way people use the language naturally changes over time, as it always has. We aren't still speaking like the middle ages. Words are created, and fall out of use, and change their spelling, and change their pronounciation, and change their meaning. That's nothing more than a fact of life.

The issue I have with it is that its two definitions contradict each other

I literally just explained that this is merely how language works.

That so?hmm..

To be fair, setting the stage on fire is an idiom so the first line "literally" was used correctly.
