I believe the word "literally" is now so widely misused that they've amended the definition to reflect the misusage. So now "literally" means both "literally" and "not literally". Literally. You are literally correct. Where I work we've discussed this very point many times and with much bemoaning. (Who says work shouldn't be fun)? Edited by YT (29 Jun 2017 5.45pm)

Tw&ts could just say 'actually' a lot of the time instead of literally.

Apparently according to some etiquette guru men over 40 should not use these phrases: Amazeballs; Does this shirt go with these trousers; how much should we tip; don't throw me under the bus; does that make sense; was it good for you; literally; adorbs; I don't have time for a holiday; Is nice (Borat voice); don't leave me hanging; let's do some shots; no offence; I'm gonna sit this one out; Interwebs; blow it up (the exploding fist bump thing); is it that time of the month; bitch (to a woman); OMG; s'up; can we have a threesome; have you gained weight; I'm not a happy camper; to be honest. This is an American list and I left some out as I don't ever remember anyone in the UK ever using them. I'm sure that we can think of some UK versions and is it correct to assert that some phrases should not be used over a certain age? Totally agree with this,as a man in his 50s. Man dem,innit!

'Literally' is a perfectly acceptable word, it's just the misuse of it that people should avoid no matter how old they are (although it can be quite funny when they don't!). This irritates the hell out of me too.
Is this a five minute argument, or the full half hour? [Link] |

Once you get to 50, you can say any of those without upsetting anyone, as nobody listens anyway. I SAID....

Sean Lock whe he was on '8 out of 10 cats' hits the mark when taking the p1ss out of this kind of thing. Shame he's not on it any more and new ones have been moved to more4 or whichever channel you easily don't notice.

Coolbeans is just an idiotic way of saying cool in response to a question or statement. I.e.. Person A: I have booked a table for us at X restaurant. Person B: Coolbeans Other annoying ones used by women in the main Edited by Michaelawt85 (30 Jun 2017 7.21am)
