literally
i like to play the literal game. i especially like to play the literal game during those really boring work meetings. here's how you play. people will often use the word literally when they mean exactly the opposite. for example, you have to work literally night and day for the next six weeks to achieve the arbitrary goals the company set for you and swears on a stack of financial bibles we must accomplish in order to stay in business. whew. now, about the time the blovinator gets to six weeks you jump up and say, (in a strong voice, you don't need to yell), literally night and day. say it several times emphasizing a different word each time. if they don't immediately thank you for your input, improvise. like this: no sleep, no shower, no meals, don't leave the building. literally do nothing but work. at some point they'll tell you to sit down, shut up, and go back to your phone game. now when someone misuses literally you raise both hands in double peace signs and claw invisible quotation marks in the air and mouth the word literally. you should be removed from all meeting lists in short order. and should be left alone to get real work done.
