literally bursting

Have you found Mace Windu’s? (hicksdesign.co.uk)
I have a box full of all my Star Wars toys, and I’m literally bursting to get them out and let [my children] play with them.
I knew I should have had that appendix removed!
In this case “literally” is being used incorrectly to mean “figuratively”.
p.s. While you’re there, check out the wonderful design of the hicksdesign website.

Wow. It would be pretty disturbing if they were literally bursting!
Last night at trivia, after eating pizza, Sam said, “I am so full, I am literally about to explode.” But of course he meant it ironically.
