Re: 153.
"I got such a bad sunburn, I was literally red as a lobster!"
Are they just saying they got a really bad sunburn, or are they actually trying to describe what they looked like afterwards? Or, to be more facetious, with all the people saying "I was literally glued to my seat!" about a great movie, how will we know when someone goes to a movie theater and accidentally sits in a puddle of crazy glue? Sad times.
You don't have to say "I would so figuratively die!"; just...use an intensifier (like "completely" or, if you don't mind sounding a bit Valley Girl, "totally"; or if you don't mind sounding a bit snooty, "utterly").
And yeah, I know, I'm nitpicking. But this particular misuse is annoying.
Re: 153.
It's been bugging me recently.
I actually saw a book a few days ago with examples of when people have said "literally" to emphasise, and with illustrations. I should have bought it.
