Lit-tra-lly

It bugs me to *pieces* when people use the word literally when they don't actually mean literally. Example? "Buildings were literally exploding downtown!"

No, buildings were not literally exploding downtown, they were figuratively exploding. I know it doesn't have the same sound, but I'm sorry, your news report is inaccurate. No buildings in Columbus have been bombed (thus far).
