In my attempt to keep up with Garr... My biggest annoyance... People who use literally when they mean figuratively.
i.e.
I literally flew across the room
I literally died when...
She literally weighed 1500 pounds
you get the idea.

Oh man. . .don't get me started on this one. There is this moron (legally diagnosed as such) who works as a janitor in my building. The guy constantly uses literally in instances where something could not have been construed as figuratively. This is just as bad, if not worse.
He doesn't get it, but I always say to him, "What? As opposed to figuratively?"
He's completely lost. The guy is the most functional retard I have ever met. Insane. Anyhow. . .thanks for adding this one.

It simply means that "it" is out of something ordinary. For example, Michael Jackson sharing his bed with a child is something that is nothing out of the unordinary.
