I disagree. The definition of impossible is pretty clear cut. It's not colloquial usage, it's leaving the conditions/context unsaid. Or misuse of the word when you don't actually mean impossible. I did a quick check and it doesn't seem that it's been corrupted in the same way as "literally"." - Tanath
