What's the Word Wednesday - LITERALLY

 

OMG! Did you see my dad crumping? I literally died on the spot.

If you did, your friends would be visiting you in the cemetery and you probably wouldn't care that your dad did something silly.

The correct word is figuratively. You are using a figure of speech to add feeling to your words.

What is crumping? (also spelled krumping or krumpin) Crumping is a form of urban dance. To see kids curmping click on the link below.

Write a story and have one of the characters use a common figure of speech. For more fun, add a scene where some kids are crumping.
