Continental, an East Village dive bar famous for selling five shots “of anything” for $10, has decided to take a bold stand against the word “literally,” of all things. According to a sign posted in the bar’s window, the staff will boot anybody who uses the word “literally” from the premises, on the grounds that it is “annoying” and they just won’t tolerate ungrammatical language in the dive bar.
Continental has occupied its famous space near St. Marks’ Place for 27 years, and in its heyday was known for hosting acts like The Ramones and Iggy Pop. More recently it’s been known for its shots deal and $2 beer offers. Continental has filed for bankruptcy twice and is scheduled to close for good on June 30, 2018, but for the last few months of its existence, the grimy dive bar could be a haven for those who cannot stand to hear people say the word “literally.” According to a sign in the bar’s window, it will be kicking out any customers who commit that grammatical faux pas.

“What if the say like “like”?”
How about “so” and “really”, both favorites on NPR.
If they go after ‘like’ they may as well shut the door.
