It says 'neck like a swan' not 'neck like a swans;' her neck should be shaped like a swan.
Cranbananarama
Neck like a swan? Is/was that really an interest?

My mistress' eyes are nothing like the sun; Coral is far more red than her lips' red; If snow be white, why then her breasts are dun; If hairs be wires, black wires grow on her head.
- from Sonnet 130, Shakespeare.

This is a stupid argument lots of people try to make, except great authors have been using these terms interchangeably for 100's of years.
Allrighty
Not exactly interchangeably, no. For some reason, the "precision in language" side of this argument is being very imprecise on this matter, and the "language is as it's used" side doesn't pay attention to how it's actually used.

Well the artist did.

Literally no one did /s
AtaSeaParks
No need for the /s on this one, my dude! "Literally" is now in the dictionary as "sometimes figuratively".

This is by cartoonist, Ethel Hays!!! She was 1 of the highest paid cartoonists of the 1920s and 1 of only a handful of women. Her cartoons normalized flapper ideologies and included some of the 1st to depict women wearing pants, makeup, and working outside the home in a daily paper! Her work is vital to growing women's independence in rural, conservative communities. I love her work!
Allrighty
I can see why! Her work is lovely.
jiffyt101
So cool! Thx!
WinkingStarfishSlapper
Surely there were more than a handful of women in 1920.
museuming
Haha. Women cartoonists

Women were invented in 1932 by Adolf Womann, a German-Jewish geneticist to solve the question of who would do the dishes when the men were busy exterminating mankind.

I want this to be what ends incorrect use of "literally". And I want the definition of literally changed back to before it was it's own antonym.
Allrighty
"Literally" has literally never been its own antonym. Its use as an intensifier is, however, well-established.
LordBoboftheBobs
If you say you're "literally shaking" but you're not, you're using literally to mean figuratively. How does that not make literally its own antonym?
Allrighty
Do people ever use "figuratively" in that way? "I'm figuratively shaking"? No, the use of "literally" is figurative in this instance, but it is not used synonymously with "figuratively".
MarsIsAfire
Language is how people use it. And it's literally been used like this for 100s of years.
EternallyIgnorant
Thats literally never going to happen. Probably. I dont know.

Thank you! What does it mean though, in this context?
twelvoclocklevel
From the OED Phrases 'do a bunk' — make a hurried or furtive departure or escape.
"she catches him planning to do a bunk from her"
twelvoclocklevel
or, informal
noun: bunk
nonsense.
"anyone with a brain cell would never believe such bunk"
