Person 1: I am literally going to have a stroke if I see another tweet about fake news.
Person 2: Are you really? Should I call 911?

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."
"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."

Often used on Facebook by idiots. Adverb carrying the meaning of 'figuratively'. In real life means 'literally'.

A red flag, using the word "literally" will instantly make you look like a dumbass. Some will try to use it to make them look smart (oh wow look at them using a big word), when in fact they are ignorant and arrogant. It's filler for the stupid and non-charismatic.
Complements a person who uses the word "like" all the time.
Like, like, literally, literally.

Like, like, literally, literally.

Literally means actually or without exaggeration.
Saying literally, you are describing something exactly how it happened, you are being literal.
