proper maner

I heard someone say ''literally amazing'' today and to me it sounded wrong.

I think the correct term for literally would be, if you said
''that guys got a big head, literally''
would mean his head physically is big, opposed to he has a big ego.
Plus would meaning he has a big ego be a metorphorical statement or otherwise?

So, my question, what's the correct use of the word literally and what's it's opposite, is it metorphorically or something else?

In my copy of the book, the names of the R and S monsters are obscured by the drawings. I have always called the S monster "snaggletooth" when I read the story to my daughter. Does anyone know if the names are revealed in another Mercer Mayer monster book?
