Literally....
I will literally KILL anyone who uses the phrase "literally", when they blatantly don't mean literally.

As in "he was literally running his legs off". No he wasn't. if he was, his legs would have fallen off.

It's the blatant disregard of whether the word is being used appropriately or not. Just throw it in there when describing any given situation and people will think you're smart.

Last autumn my friend told me she was literaly going to spend half her life in Edinburgh.
Then told me she'd be there for two months. I told her I was surprised as she looked older than four months. She hummed at me and said, "yeah, but."
