'literally out of this world'

[MrsWembley]

This quote from Chris Evans has just made me scream at the radio.

Oh, and someone on R4 the other day described a person as being 'pressurised', but don't me started on that one!

Chris Evan is a NOB. How I wish he was literally out of this world, then I could listen to radio 2 breakfast again.
My dad has just come back from the states and he tells me they trend there is to miss the ly from the end of adverbs.

Was it pertaining to the international space station?
Many people don't know what "literally" means, and just use the word as a filler.

I love these.

My mum gets my brother the "colemanballs" book from private eye every year and it is stuffed full of corkers.

You should practice laughing rather than swearing

Can't find any "literally" ones at the moment but they are out there oh yes

Some racing chap or other:

"When the stalls open those horses are going to literally explode."

I can picture it now.

BANG!

Messy business, horse racing

The Oatmeal on literally

Brilliant! And, by that, I really do mean enlightening.

I must remember to send that link to Evans when I get to my laptop.

That oatmeal thing is v funny

I have laughed so hard my sides literally split

Brilliant!!!
Exploding horses!!!

I remember hearing on a radio station once a football supporter complaining post match that the ref really " got up his goat"
It made my eyes water

There was a presenter on radio 4 who claimed that we do not need apostrophes. Does he not realise that he could get in trouble if, "Both the presenters wives were called Sarah" (literally)

Oh, please name the presenter, please!

I'm already working on an email complaining about the continued use of 'pressurised' when referring to people. I can add it to that.

Well, technically we are all under pressure, which increases or decreases depending on whether we are in air or water, and what altitude/depth we are at.

Is that too pedantic?

I hate this too - 150%

Thank-you, Sardine, for hoisting me off that high horse and setting me back down in a lower pressured atmosphere.

I literally found the Oatmeal thing very amusing. The world needs more gayrollers: fact.

ROFL @ depressurising mrswembley by invoking the top trump of pendantry - science pedantry

FACT

Love this thread

Actually, Sardine, I've just realised something. By setting me back down on the ground, you are, in fact, putting me in a position where I am under a higher pressure than the one that I was under on my (extremely) high horse.

I don't want to be anywhere near your house when you next get in the bath.

You will be so pressurised you will literally explode!

Let's hope there isn't a gayroller in the vicinity!

I wish I could remember which presenter. I was particulary annoyed, but feeling pressured by washing machine woes and not paying sufficient attention.
