I know what I said, and I know what it means. I however was using it in the modern day connotative context rather than the original denotative. An example: when a younger person says to their friend "OMG I am literally dying" they don't mean that they are in fact actually dying, they are just stating that at that current moment whatever event they are in they are currently feeling the drain of emotion, and feel that would equate to dying.


 
So in my context, I did not mean that the characters of comment where-in fact a group of rowdy posteriors but rather; was commentary on the fact of their personalities were equating to that of a person of ^[1]^ [==ill repute and distaste, so my liberal use of the word literally could be taken as such: "X Character is literally a==] ^sic*1 [Person of Ill repute and Distaste]^ an Asshole"


 
wherin' thus my use of _*literally_* could be seen as the correct form of the word. in any way of understanding my use of said word in said context I am correct in it's execution as I said before, I do know what I said and I do know how I used it.
