NSD_Blonde, there should be a word for that!
There should be a word for when an idiom has literally just happened, like when someone actually spills some milk and then cries, which I did when I was first breastfeeding and it was so difficult and painful and time consuming just to produce a few ml of the precious stuff. Once I was exhausted and the little container tipped over and I cried!
And a word for when a cliche literally happens, like the time TheBF washed a bunch of whites with a brand new red dress and everything but the dress came out pink. He told me that he never believed that would really happen. You could us it if your room actually looked like a pig sty, or if you actually ate a crow.
I suppose "actually literally" describes it, but it would be cool if there was a specific name to describe those phenomena.
