When there is absolutely no need for their use. This is illustrated by the likes of that spikey haired chef fella, Gary Rhodes. He often ‘literally fills a pastry case with the cheesecake mixture’ and ‘spoons the actual mixture in and then levels the actual mixture off’ and ‘actually takes the literal knife and cuts a slice’.

Because all these things are not tangible and his actions, his cookery figurative. Meh…

On returning from the shops with my daughter, he pipes up,

"There's a dirty swan on the pool. I've never seen a dirty swan before."

Me:

Mr Sec: "I swear to god."

Daughter: "It was a flippin' signet, dad."

Believe me I would have if I could move, I'd broken my foot which wasn't helped by him kicking it as he leapt over me to get the phone

I had that with my ex. When I went into labour I had to look after him he was that flustered. Fortunately I haven't had that with my OH but I don't think he'll be much better. I'll probably get my kids to help if and when it happens again
