So will figuratively come to mean literally? That would be figuratively funny.

Edit: I thought about it and came to the conclusion that "literally" doesn't mean "figuratively" but it's just an emphasiser. So it can be used in contexts where "figuratively" would work but it literally is just there to give emphasis to the statement.
