I dont think its changed definitions to mean figuratively. I think it still is used as hyperbole.
apparently the first use of literally as figurative was in 1769

Now I'm wondering if there is an opposite to broad daylight. Narrow daylight?

Exactly! Do we have narrow daylight at some point, maybe this is an outdated phrase that needs to go...like pitch black...I don't think I've ever seen pitch

Nah man, kids today that never experienced dial-up internet in the 90's will ever relate. When the norm was waiting until you go to bed to start that download and then hoping your connection would hold out through the night? Nope, they'll never truly appreciate what slow is.

I never really noticed it before but now I can't stop feeling their weight. Kinda like becoming aware of your tongue. Ughh I'm ruining my day.

Reply to The amount of people that do not know that a cold sore is herpes is surprising. by BellyScratchFTW
i find it scary more than surprising - i didn’t even know til i was 17 - i was sexually active and didn’t know cold sores could turn to genital herpes…. scary.

That's true, but I usually just go with the flow and don't worry too much about it. After all, fashion is about expressing yourself and feeling comfortable in what you wear!

what I don't get is that the way 'literal' gives emphasis was through hyperbole. Changing the definition has actually destroyed that use of the word. So people use it that way and I am literally stuck in an endless loop of logic.

This is how I feel. I would become friends with like 4% of my classmates if I wasn't required to spend time with them.
