Organic Emotions

"She literally wears her heart on her sleeve."

Don't snag that on your watch! 

Got Back

"Dude, I got your back, literally!"

Ever feel spineless?

Transported

"As I listened to the opera I was literally 

transported to another place."

Beam me up, Scotty!

Happy Thanksgiving, eh!

"I am literally stuffed!"

Happy Canadian Thanksgiving, everyone!

Sweaty!

"I literally sweat buckets today!"

Those are some impressive pores he's got there.

*Oh, the things my sister and I come up with while cleaning other people's (very warm) houses.

Rockstars

These kids made my morning.  They take some words or phrases and see what they would literally look like.  Intersperse some Monty Python audio into the video and it makes for a humourous (if pre-pubescent) literal video.

What's the funniest literal thing you've heard lately?

Meat-eaters

"He literally ate a ton of meat."

That's going to take a little while to digest.

Plans

"Our New Year's Eve plans were literally 

up in the air."

Or you could go fly a kite...

Ends Meet

"I am, literally, just trying to make ends meet."

Some simple gymnastics stretches would probably help.

Economy

"The economy literally hung in the balance."

I'm not really sure what weighs as much as the economy but I hope they get that figured out, Mr. Biden.

Indigestion

"One time he was so sick that he literally threw up a boot."

Gives new hope to the hearers of "...or I'll eat my hat."

*My friend, Michael C, creatively asserts that he hears these phrases all the time.  I imagine he spends a lot of time around pre-school and kindergarten-aged boys.

Ring of Fire

"One time when he peed it burned so bad he was literally peeing out fire."

That's gonna leave a mark!

*Thank you to Michael C for suggesting this idea.

Yure-in Trouble

"One time he had to pee so bad his eyes

literally turned yellow."

Or he had fake contacts in...  We weren't sure.

*Thank you to Michael C for suggesting this idea.

Atlas

"He literally had the weight of the world 

on his shoulders."

I hope he has a good chiropractor.

*Thank you to Michael C for suggesting this idea.

WDW Snacks

"That snack literally took forever."

It's all fun and games until someone has to stand in a 

20 minute line for a Dole Whip.

WDW Jokes

"She started laughing and literally ended up 

dying of laughter."

"Her last words were, 'Banana who?'"

Predictably, there's a funny story that goes with this one.  I'll post it in the comments.

Falling Apart

"I'm literally falling apart!"

I know a good seamstress...

Boiling

"He literally made her blood boil."

I haven't seen that on Allrecipes yet...

Bad Music

"My neighbour's music was so loud, it literally

made my ears bleed."

I could see a snagged earring doing that, but music..

I'm just not buying it.

All Night Long

Finally, someone else that knows how to do something literally!

Rhett and Link literally sing "All Night Long"

And there's 11 hours of video to prove it.

WDW Flight

The next few days' drawings come from my literally funny friend, Michael.  

His trip report had some intentionally funny literal hyperbole in it.  

How could I not draw these???

"The flight was literally over before it started."

Marty McFly must have been manning that cockpit.

Biden

"Literally anyone could grow up to be vice president!"

I literally enjoyed Biden's speech the other night (or any night).

Lots of blog fodder there!

Haystacks

"Figuring out what to do next was literally like looking for a needle in a haystack."

I don't think you've looked for many needles lately.

Tears

When she heard the news she literally dissolved in a pool of tears.

What a world, what a world

Sole Man

"My feet were literally screaming at me!"

 

We just got back from Walt Disney World.  

I enjoyed thinking about this one while walking around for 8 days.

Sneezy

"She literally sneezed her head off."

Paging Dr. Frankenstein; you're needed in surgery.

Screwed

"I am literally screwed!"

 

You may have a career in horror films though.

Raining

"It is literally raining cats and dogs out there today!"

I wonder what PETA has to say about that...

Epiphany

"Dude, that literally blew me away!"

Think how Dorothy and Auntie Em felt!

Running

"He literally ran his feet off that day."

I know this guy who works in prosthetics.  Maybe he could help with that.

Lights

"A light literally went on in his head."

At least we don't need a flashlight anymore.

Exploding

"She literally exploded at me  

when I told her the truth!"

I hope you have good laundry soap.  That could be messy to clean up.

Babysitting

"She is literally the last person I would want babysitting my kids."

Is she really?  Have you interviewed everyone out there to know that?  

Might there be more unsavory options?
