    'I know exactly how you feel' - no, you don't.

    'I'm just saying it how it is, I don't sugar-coat things to be PC' - I'm rude and obnoxious, and quite likely to be racist and/or sexist. I simply don't care how offensive or ill-informed I am, I expect to get away with it.

    Saying "literally" for anything but.

    "I literally died right then and there I was so embarrassed!"

    "He literally broke a leg trying to get there as fast as possible"

    etc.

    The definition of literally has been updated to encompass this new usage. The word has two directly contradictory meanings. This makes me more upset than it ought to.

    As far as I'm concerned there is only one meaning of literally, the original meaning.

    But the fact is that language evolves, and it no longer only has one meaning.

    "Basically......."

    No. You don't need to dumb down your inane story about some mundane thing that happened to your stupid ugly self. I am perfectly able to comprehend the complexities of what "so-in-so" said to "whatshername". No need at all to break the nuances down to their most basic levels.
