Figuratively means metaphorically, and literally describes something that actually happened. If you say that a guitar solo literally blew your head off, your head should not be attached to your body. But they're also going to create literally a tidal wave of data.
The term literally, however, also can be used as hyperbole to mean the same as figuratively.. By its main definition, literally means that an expression or phrase is not exaggerated or embellished â it means exactly what the words suggest. The definition of figuratively is that the words are metaphoric â they are a figure of speech meant to convey something different from their literal meaning. Many words and phrases can be used both literally and figuratively.
