Today, my colleague yet again misused the word "literally." It's driving me insane. I have to work opposite him and hear him say things like he's just "literally shit himself inside out." FML

A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.

Your comment literally made me shit myself inside out.

You should say "I'm literally going to kill you if you don't stop saying literally. Literally".

he's a literal idiot.

Just be like, can you literally shut the **** up??

No, I just didn't get why you said it.

Shit! That must have hurt!

Why ??? Common sense people

Except that "Literally" can be used to describe situations of near possibility. Your co-worker is using the word correctly. He's just over using it.

you are all morons with limited language and comprehension skills.

'Literally' has been used as an intensifier for 300 years. Some of those using it in that sense are among the most respected and widely read authors in English. So you're literally making things up to be annoyed over.
