Michael:
"People literally use literally all the time when they literally should not. It literally should only be used literally in cases, like,
"I literally fell off the wagon" - you know when you do fall off the wagon and not when you start drinking again."
Me:
"Like when you had sex and you say we were literally banging on the bed, oh no that is entirely wrong."
Michael:
"It would work if you did not have sex and you were sitting on the bed banging drums."
Me:
"I could see "I literally have defined calves on my legs" working, but I would have to illustrate that one."
Michael:
"I have no idea what you are talking about. I think you had to bring up calves because you are proud of your calves because of cycling."
Me:
"When I do the illustration you will understand."
Below are examples of when you can use literally (illustrated for ease of reference)
:
I literally have a bun in the oven:
I literally kicked the bucket:
Funny!
