    I’m gonna get the shit downvoted out of me for this, but the problem with this idea is that insular communities tend to redefine words and then expect everyone outside their bubble to know their new definition. Doing so also robs the language of a word that served a specific purpose, such as in the case of the word “literally.”

      Thankfully it was named after the peanut butter and given a nice slogan to boot so you always know how to pronounce it properly!
