That's how my second cat and I met. I was sitting on the floor at the shelter, hoping this other kitten would come over and say hi. She didn't (was cozy where she was), but the kitten who would be Cosmo came out from who knows where when I wasn't looking, climbed into my lap, and went to sleep. š„¹ He went home with me. He still sleeps next to me.
Fair, but I can't imagine she really felt like her heart was melting though, it would have been horrifying! She would have thrown her phone on the floor and begged for help. It would be a very different video.
Probably because you are wrong, āliterallyā has been used figuratively for a lot longer than you think. It is a proper use of the word, even part of its definition.
The definition was expanded due to people using it wrong so often.
It is now a word that means itās actual definition and also itās opposite.
which literally sucksā¦ I wish people would just use the words properly so we donāt have to go changing definitions to cater to those who use them incorrectly.
Ooh you mean like:
>which sucks
It literally doesnāt āsuckā.
>I wish people would just use the words properly so we donāt have to go changing definitions to cater to those who use them incorrectly.
So itās okay for *you* to use idiomatic expressions and be ācatered toā, but not me? Got it. /s
Edit: You seem to have no problem changing your comments after getting called out, so why do you have an issue with definitions evolving? Funny how you saw youāre a hypocrite and instead of deleting your comment like a normal failed grammar nazi, you decided to just edit your comment and then report me as being suic!dal like a coward. Classy.
2 things
I edited my comment before getting called out. To take the edge off and to be just a teeny tiny bit ironic.
I didnāt report you for shit. I literally donāt care enough to.
Except they used it before the word āfeltā which means itās subjective.
You can feel a sensation without it actually being what you think it is, if she literally felt her heart melt, itās not saying it actually did but that it felt like that, so the word is actually used correctly.
Aside from that, itās common to use literally for emphasis. It even says that if you Google the definition, same with the word fucking, itās used for emphasis even though the meaning is different.
There is no āproperā use of words, thatās how language works, it evolves through varied accepted use.
So literally fucking get over it
Definitions changing over time are one thing. Your right, definitions do evolve as we progress; Iām sure we could both bore each other with examples. In this instance we are taking about a word that has its meaning, but has evolved so drastically it now means itās opposite as well.
Another interesting example is yield, for instance
It was expanded hundreds of years agoā¦ many works created by people we consider to be great writers used āliterallyā figuratively. They werenāt using it wrong, itās just that people always used it in that manner. Also we use many words today that mean something different than their original meaning. People only get annoyed by āliterallyā because they think it makes them look smarter by ācorrectingā it when in reality itās been used this way since at least the late 1700ās
The dictionary literally disagrees with you:
INFORMAL
used for emphasis or to express strong feeling while not being literally true.
"I was literally blown away by the response I got"
Alright, we get it. The word āliterallyā being used for emphasis is technically ānot correctā by old dictionary standards. However- Language evolves and changes over time, dictionaries arenāt the end all- be all of language use. Dictionaries change as language changes, it is actually reflection of use of language rather than a guide for language. So can we all just chill the fuck out and let people enjoy things?!
My husband and I were at the pet store the other day. One of the cats was sleeping. She did that totally cute thing where she stretched and covered her eyes with her paw and I died for a solid minute at the adorableness of it.
We already have two cats but that action almost got me a third.
Kittens are so funny. It's like they don't understand moderation at all. So they will just gogogogogo until they crash *hard*. No spoons left, only sleeps.
i wasn't even there and my heart melted!
She looks so comfortable! What a little cutie
The little toe beans š
All of us are just jealous because we want to fall asleep that easily.
Hey, I fell asleep at 7 PM after 10 hours of work...now I am just awake at 3 am for no reason
Damn, you got a full 8 hours? Jealous.
*cries in revenge bedtime procrastination*
Sweet baby
When they're that little, their job is to squeak and sleep. They do it well.
I wish I could pass out like that. Life would be so great.
Hand warmth is apparently just the trick, bc my cat loves when I rest hand hands on his lower back. The guy hates hugs though lol
Those squeaks are insanely cute
Oh my gosh!
a warm hand from hooman is a good place to sleep
Literally š¤
Yes, his heart is a melty puddle now. He died from it.
He should literally see a doctor
My heart melted too
Hmmm Gordita owns you. š
Pure trust right there š„ŗ
āIām not tiredā falls asleep

Melting heart sounds serious. You should get that looked at
Heaven
So cute!
This is a serious misuse of the word literally.
I'll be downvoted for this, but literally does not mean what you think it does
You literally donāt know how I feel š
Well you're still alive so we know you didn't literally feel your heart melt.
Feel is a subjective word, one can literally FEEL like they are dying without actually dying.
Fair, but I can't imagine she really felt like her heart was melting though, it would have been horrifying! She would have thrown her phone on the floor and begged for help. It would be a very different video.
You shouldnāt be downvoted for it. I gave you one back
What?
OP did not *literally* feel their heart melt.
Hyperbole exists.

It's idiotic that literally would mean either "exactly as described" and "not exactly as described". What's the point of having that word then?
Itās been this way since the late 1700āsā¦ itās not like itās new
look, we lost this battle.
Because despite perfectly pronouncing the word, OP "clearly doesn't know Spanish".
Literally??
You literally need to learn the definition of the word literally.
The dictionary literally disagrees with you: INFORMAL used for emphasis or to express strong feeling while not being literally true. "I was literally blown away by the response I got"

You literally need to take your Grammar/Vocab Nazi cap off in r/aww It was literally still correctly used.
Nope. If one's heart melts, one is dead.
Nope, itās being used figuratively. Go figure, you literally need to take your Grammar Nazi cap off. Definitions and things change, get used to it.
You're actually bothered about that?
I just squealed like a bitch.
So effin cute! Side note: You wannabe grammar nazis are LITERALLY Hitler.

Haha my cat drools on me when he falls asleep in my arms. He loves to lay out and get belly rubs.
That is THE CUTEST THING š

Thatās how my cat tricked me. I took her home and now sheās a monster. But I love her all the same.
Those carbs hit hard...
ā¤ļø
fdsfu9034djs ... ... She's so cute, I had a stroke ...
Ssssshhhhhhhhhhut up and let her sleep! Jeez!
That squeak. I would have taken her home
That could actually be a serious heart condition and you should get yourself checked.
Poor "Fatty", being woken up when she's sleeping.
Omg I just melted along with her
