Frasier: Grammar Nitpick

1m 1s

literally vs. figuratively

Dr. Frasier Crane takes a call from Doug and listens to his problem. Doug talks about his mother and how she doesn't have much of a life. He claims that she "literally hangs around the house all day." Frasier points out Doug's incorrect use of the word, "literally," which causes Doug to get angry and hang up the phone.
