I remember this one. I deliberately didn't click on that story or upvote it, because I though it was a linkbaity article - what was the f'ing submitter thinking? I have to click on that link to see if it's something even remotely interesting (and presumably profit such a nasty submitter by more ad-views)? No, thank you.

After a day, I thought maybe it's something really cool that's got so much upvotes and then clicked on it and was literally blown away.




>and was literally blown away

Where did you end up? Did you land on something soft?


Literally is literally an auto-antonym used to emphasise a figurative expression. But you win the Grandma Nazi of the Thread award. (!!)


Actually, I always chuckle when I see people use literally when they mean almost, so I intentionally misuse it to make others chuckle (though, admittedly I think it frustrates more people than it chuckles!) :)
