    At the cost of the word’s intended use, unfortunately. RIP literally. It literally died.

      Now you have to hit literally in the chest with an adrenaline shot to bring lividity into its decaying body.

      quite literally

      actually literally

        A good point, I haven’t seen “quite literally” used to mean “figuratively.” Perhaps there’s some usefulness to be had yet.
