Except for a last second play by Clemson, that was an obvious penalty not called...

Alabama would be undefeated over the last three seasons. Bama literally can't lose!!!


And the Ole Miss game in 2015 doesn't count because they cheated.

I'm more pissed about the 2011 9-6 loss and Kick-Six. Bama should be working on their seventh consecutive SEC title this year.

People should be required to take a test stating they can properly use this word before they use it. It's not even slightly complicated. There's no little rhyme or analogy you have to memorize to figure out when to use it. It's not like remembering if broccoli has two C's or two L's because of arbitrary spelling. It's so simple.

Really, when you think of what had to happen in those games for bama to lose, including the playoff loss to osu, just amazing that bama could have a few more natties.

I think at this point we've changed the meaning of the word.

How dis dude who go by “1BIGTigerFan” still duping people into thinking he’s a bammer?

He’s done this for the last several weeks for each of LSU’s opponents, starts several threads a week, and people still respond to him as a Gump.

Literally every modern dictionary includes a definition for the metaphoric or intensifying sense of the word literally. Why do we hate the English language so?

We don’t.

There is no plot by dictionary-makers to destroy our language. There is not even a plot to loosen our language's morals and corrupt it a bit. There is, however, a strong impulse among lexicographers to catalog the language as it is used, and there is a considerable body of evidence indicating that literally has been used in this fashion for a very long time. All of the dictionaries listed above also provide usage notes with the definition of literally, indicating that this sense is widely frowned upon. We include a note as well, which reads as follows:

Since some people take sense 2 to be the opposite of sense 1, it has been frequently criticized as a misuse. Instead, the use is pure hyperbole intended to gain emphasis, but it often appears in contexts where no additional emphasis is necessary.

If this sense of literally is bothersome, you needn’t use it. If you dislike hearing other people use it, you may continue to be upset. If you would like to broaden your complaint slightly, and insist that the original meaning of literal is the only proper one, go right ahead (although, before committing to this, you should be aware that this will restrict you to using literal when you mean “of, relating to, or expressed in letters”).

The use of literally in a fashion that is hyperbolic or metaphoric is not new—evidence of this use dates back to 1769. Its inclusion in a dictionary isn't new either; the entry for literally in our 1909 unabridged dictionary states that the word is “often used hyperbolically; as, he literally flew.” We (and all the other “craven dictionary editors”) have included this definition for a very simple reason: a lot of people use it this way, and our entries are based on evidence of use. Furthermore, the fact that so many people are writing angry letters serves as a sort of secondhand evidence, as they would hardly be complaining about this usage if it had not become common.

We understand that many have chosen this particular issue as the one about which they choose to draw a line in the sand, on the grounds that a word should not mean one thing and its opposite (a fairly common thing in English). But a living language is a language that is always changing; this change may be lovely, and it may be ugly. As lexicographers we are in the business of defining language, rather than judging it.


Sadly, and I am indeed sad about this, the idiots have claimed this word for their own.

People have literally replaced "really" with "literally".

But really, they literally mean the same thing.

If I am correct in assessing the intent of his post, he is using the word correctly.

If Bama got called for the holding they do on every play they would be winless over the last 3 years.
