Right now, those are both correct usages of literal(ly). Look at youtube videos and you will literally find thousands of idiots who say something like "I literally crapped my pants!" when in fact they did not crap their pants, thus they figuratively crapped their pants.

Right now back in my office after a toddler locked herself in, decimated a pile of paperwork and emptied the contents of my purse. Reason #3489886498 not to have kids: you actually have to pay attention to what they're doing.
