Well, at least you correctly said "figuratively" instead of "literally."

Do I get a hint now? :)
I also sometimes say x will figuratively literally y if I really want to use literally.

One of the dictionaries already included the definition of figuratively under the word literally.
It was easier to change the definition than to make people speak correctly.
