Kwame on Top Chef said a funny thing yesterday. I happened to hear him saying it because I was watching him on that same TV program Top Chef at the time.
Talking about his meteoric rise to "James Beard nominee status" he said, "I was literally the lowest man on the totem pole."
He went on to explain that he was not strictly somehow mystically embedded within a totem pole, where he was the bottom face, but he was actually (or, to use another synonym of actually, "literally") a "line cook in a kitchen."
People never tire of misusing the word "literally" and I never tire of pointing it out when they do.
Wonder which of us is the more boring.

Has it come to this?
