Boru

what I meant is very obvious. It's like title "Hunger Games: Girl on Fire"
She is not on "real fire", as it is obvious.

But it would be very normal if somebody said "but Nancy; she  was on ffffffffffffffffffffiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiire; literally; Gosh..".

It's the use of the word 'literally' that makes all the difference.  If we say, 'Nancy is on fire!!! ', it is clearly a euphemism for any of a number of things. If we say, 'Nancy is literally on fire!!' she's either doing a fire-walking ceremony or needs immediate medical attention.

'Literally' might very well be the most misused word in the English language.
