"Literally"

The word literally is often abused.



The Ambiguous Mistake.

 Examples: 
That cat is literally really big! 
That person is literally insanely awesome.
That plant is literally pretty. 



















The Impossibility Mistake. 

Examples:
It literally took forever. 
My brain literally exploded.




The Lying Mistake. 

Examples: 
I literally died.  
He literally pooped his pants. 




The Exaggerated Mistake. 
 Examples: 

There were literally a thousand firemen at my house. 
Our flight was literally a hundred hours.
