Literally

Literally is an English adverb meaning "in a literal sense or manner" or an intensifier which strengthens the following statement. It has been used as an intensifier in English for several centuries, though recently this has been considered somewhat controversial by language prescriptivists. The use of 'literally' as an intensifier is recognized as valid by most dictionaries of English and has been used by authors such as Mark Twain and James Joyce. Read more on Wikipedia
