Bueller?  Bueller?  Anyone?  I am waiting for an example of using this word in context.  I firmly believe, as I said above, this word is not necessary.   Please help with an example.

@SloopJohnB. Nope.  That sentence is just fine and stands alone without that useless word.

LOL - I agree. Same with "actually"

@Catbelly    I agree...all the words mentioned are over used..."basically..literally..I can't...etc..etc...

For some reason my little grandkids like to say Actually.  
"Did you have  fun at school"?    "Actually...I did "

"Do you want a cookie"?   "Actually... I do "

"Are you ready to get a bath"?    "Actually...no"

Seems like it's the new over used word for the kids too.  😊

That's the one that drives me crazy.  Or it's twin..."I can't even".

You can't even what?

"It's got" rather than "it has"....drives me batty.  I know it's petty but it just sounds so dumb. OK I'm finished complaining, for today.😁

When I told him to go jump in the lake I meant it figuratively not literally.  I didn't know he could not swim.

I hope that the above sentence is a good example.

I told him I never wanted to see him again, but I didn't expect him to take it literally.

Sorry @MamaWick .  I literally cannot think of an example.

@lgfan. That is good, but the sentence would still stand alone if you left out "not literally."

@TheMemphisVette. This is a good example.  I think 99.9% of the time, the word is not needed and sentences can stand alone.  Thank you.
