The word that always comes to mind is 'literally' which has come to mean 'figuratively, but with emphasis' and it drives me nuts - because it removes the word we have to say 'this is a thing that you might assume is figurative, but it's not, it actually happened'.
Allow me to introduce you to my favorite portmanteau, "legiterally"
