The use of 'literally' when they mean 'metaphorically', as a device to emphasise your statement. It pisses me off, and if used, you should have the thing in question done to you.

Agreed. I see this a lot. For some reason, newscasters seem addicted to it. "The crowd is so big, the stadium is literally exploding!" "That answer literally blew him away!"

WTF? They're just words; learn how to use them.
