Oh hello good sir!  That's a good question!

"Literally" means that you should take every word at it's dictionary definition.  So I say something like "there were literally five guys with shotguns at the ranch" that means that there were actually five guys at the ranch with shotguns!  If I said that there was literally a psychopath at the bank, it's probably not a good idea to go to the bank because you might get blown away!

Does that help?
