Literally

A new debating tactic that will cause gainsayers to divide by zero in outrage.

Definition

Pronunciation: /ˈlɪt(ə)rəli  adverb

Meaning 1: In a literal manner or sense; exactly: e.g., ‘the driver took it literally when asked to go straight over the roundabout’ or ‘tiramisu, literally translated ‘pull-me-up’’

Meaning 2: Used in the sense of not being literally true: e.g., ‘I have received literally thousands of letters’

Usage

Whatever you want it to mean. Lies can become truth and truth become lies.

Now you too can make dictionary-sanctioned statements that are "literally" true while not actually being "literally" true, without your opponent being able to say a damn thing against it.
