"Figuratively speaking" is a phrase used to clarify that the speaker is not speaking literally but rather using figurative language to make a point or convey a concept.
When someone says "figuratively speaking," they are typically emphasizing that the statement should not be taken literally but rather as a figure of speech or an exaggeration for effect.

Get the Jack Speakemug. A form of sanitized language or euphemism used by online content creators when discussing sensitive or serious topics. This vocabulary, which includes words like "unalive" instead of "kill," is primarily used to avoid demonetization by advertisers on various platforms. The practice ultimately desensitizes the audience to the gravity of these subjects by watering down the very language used to describe them.
"Dude, did you hear about that little boy? Got graped and unalived by a PDF file, it's so messed up."
"Are you fucking serious right now?! You're talking about a child being raped and murdered by a pedophile and you're using that sanitized, spineless content speak bullshit?! What the absolute fuck is wrong with you? Talk like a goddamn human being!"
