For me I say that a truck with a cab longer than its bed is not a truck, but an SUV with an overgrown bumper.

So, what’s the new word for what “literal” used to mean?

Back when I was in grade school, there were kids saying “as long as you know what I mean, it doesn’t matter”. If a word means two different/conflicting things, how can we possibly know what you mean? See also: bimonthly.
