        I know people say that (in english), but then there has to be a word to mean something in the literal sense. And ‘actually’ doesn’t count, because people literally use it like they use ‘literally’ as to mean figuratively.

        I’m sure “I didn’t mean ‘literally’ literally, so it wasn’t perjury your honor” won’t work in court.

          I have literally never heard of anyone getting in trouble for misusing literally in court but if you can find any examples I’d be interested in seeing them.

            So you might have heard it?

    “Literally begs” = has a delusional rant like always

    I’m demanding that these countries come in and protect their own territory, because it is their territory. It’s the place from which they get their energy.

    Someone should bring a dictionary to the President, then smack him in the head with it

    There is no point even reporting on trumps words. They are so contradictory and fleeting. This dude said he’d destroyed 100% of Iran’s military. In his mind it must be ghosts launching strikes.
