| 1 | She splashed hot water on the clerks face while the cop was right behind her.That's not fair, provided the speaker is aware it is hyperbole. | /r/PussyPassDenied | 25/09/17 02:44 PM |
| 2 | She splashed hot water on the clerks face while the cop was right behind her.Maybe we are just communicating poorly. I'm not saying that "literally" SHOULD mean "figuratively" I'm just saying the guy you replied to isn't wrong, the definition of "literally" now includes the informal definition which is LITERALLY "not literally". It's ridiculous and I hate what we are doing to the English language however if you use the word literally as an exaggeration you are technically not misusing the word. | /r/PussyPassDenied | 25/09/17 02:40 PM |
| 2 | She splashed hot water on the clerks face while the cop was right behind her.More correlation than causation I think, but effectively yes. Nonetheless they did change the definition. | /r/PussyPassDenied | 25/09/17 01:57 PM |
| 2 | She splashed hot water on the clerks face while the cop was right behind her.I'm not saying it's not a little absurd but the fact is that the definition has been updated to include an informal opposite definition. So the post that the other guy was replying to was correct. | /r/PussyPassDenied | 25/09/17 01:44 PM |
| 1 | She splashed hot water on the clerks face while the cop was right behind her.The literal definition of literally. I thought that was pretty clear. If you just need the last word that's fine, I won't reply after this. | /r/PussyPassDenied | 25/09/17 01:38 PM |
| 1 | She splashed hot water on the clerks face while the cop was right behind her.I was correcting you. You're welcome. | /r/PussyPassDenied | 25/09/17 12:57 PM |
