Literally 

a word with no meaning in today's USA.

Person 2: Are you really? Should I call 911?

Person 1: Why would you call 911?

literally 

used to describe something that actually happens or exists. One of the most overused words in modern society. Not to be confused with figuratively, as this is the complete opposite.
Incorrect usage:

A: It was literally raining cats and dogs.

B: Really dipshit? How many scratches do you have?

Correct usage:
A: Dude, Justin Bieber literally has half a billion views on YouTube.
B: Shit, really? Now I know the world is coming to an end

A good way to show that you are a total drama queen twit is to use the term 'literally' to describe every mundane thing that you do in life
'dude.. i literally died'

'oh... its a shame you are literally still alive though'

Literally 

Actually; in fact; without exaggeration. The single most overused and incorrectly used word in the English language.
"I literally died laughing."
"He just texted me, omg I literally can't."
"I am literally over it."
"This is literally the best peanut butter and jelly sandwich anyone ever made."
"He is literally such a jerk."
"I was literally, like, almost about to cry."

Now, let's look at this word used correctly:
"I know you're lactose intolerant...don't worry, there's literally no dairy in my house."
"Kim Kardashian has done literally nothing to deserve fame or fortune."
"Kanye West literally thinks he is Jesus Christ."

Truthfully actual. Not figuratively.

Used when not bullshitting or by fake cats pretending not to.
