Prompt: What’s a word or phrase that annoys you?
The word “literally,” oh, how I loathe,
It’s literally used, I swear on my oath,
For things that are not, in the truest of sense,
So literally wrong, it makes my brain tense.
My head literally spins when I hear,
“I literally died,” though they’re literally here.
Or “My heart literally broke,” with a sigh,
When they’re literally fine, just a bit miffed, oh my!
The misuse of “literally” has gone too far,
It’s literally a blight, a linguistic scar.
So let’s literally ban it, with joyful decree,
And literally free our poor language, I plea!
A big thank you to all who literally like my post! 💕😅🤣😂
