Literally: Some folks get very upset when this term is used in place of its
antonym, figuratively. However, in a hyperbolic sense, that meaning is
justified. Unfortunately, that sense is literally overused.

Notorious
Notorious: This term is occasionally used correctly in a neutral sense but most people tend to think that it has negative connotations. However, the word "notorious" literally (and simply) means “known” and nothing more. However, its dominant
connotation is that the individual is recognizable or known for illicit behavior or wrongdoing.
