Lol so the complete misuse of a word is okay if every vapid idiot on twitter uses it that way makes it grammatically correct now?
I didn't need my 'uni' to teach me what a thesaurus or dictionary could in 5 seconds.
And by "Every vapid idiot on Twitter," you're obviously including James Joyce, Charles Dickens, Jane Austin, F. Scott Fitzgerald, Vladimir Nabokov et al, right? Or did you think that Gatsby was actually giving off light and Nicholas Nickleby had actually had his skin and muscle worn off of his bones?
ETA: Also, it's literally in the OED. Like, literally.
