*adds emphasis*
It'
s operates in a similar vein to the peppering of four letter
words throughout a conversation, merely placing emphasis upon the encapsulating phrase, or the sentence as a whole.
It'
s like *look here, pay attention to me while I
say this, though it is probably insubstantial and you might not want to regard it as wholly accurate if it is substantial.*
The earlier posts literally made such a big deal about the word being misused.
I literally had to correct that shit.
People are taking the
definition of literally far too literally; I mean LITERALLY.
This is urban
dictionary, it'
s literally made for incorrect colloquial usage cases. (this one happens to be both at once, which is likely why children first learn a mistaken use case)
