Some people literally cannot communicate without using the word literally. Catching up to word like.

Also, please get off of my lawn. And get a haircut, hippie.

Figuratively speaking, the meaning and usage of words can change.

Peruse used to mean to read in its entirety. Nice meant someone was stupid.

Gay meant happy.

And man used to mean a human born with a penis.

It's been overly misused for years now. Drives me crazy too.

I’ve mentioned this several times on various boards. I just get bombarded with downvotes so I’m obviously part of the very small percentage who doesn’t conform to the latest “in” things and/or sayings.
