Some people are muppets:

 

I was watching an old programme about the new Fighter plane project, and the tender for it, on sky.

 

The narrator said "The Boeing fighter is literally a dark horse" What a twat! I hate the over-use (inappropriate-use more like) of the word "literally"

 

Like David Pleat in USA94 "that player literally only has one foot" :rofl:

 

 

\Lit"er*al*ly\, adv. 1. According to the primary and natural import of words; not figuratively; as, a man and his wife can not be literally one flesh.

See this for much more appropriate use of English !
