Not that anon but in my experience people take it to literally mean that there was a being named "God" who created the world and has now ceased to be
What I think Nietzsche actually meant was that religion as an institution has lost any of its potency and man need look elsewhere for transcendence

God is radio star, we invented video.

"The death of this representational thought contains at the same time the death of the abstraction of the divine essence which is not yet posited as a self. That death is the painful feeling of the unhappy consciousness that God himself has died. This harsh expression is the expression of the inmost simple-knowing-of-oneself, the return of consciousness into the depth of the night of the I = I which no longer distinguishes and knows anything external to it. This feeling thus is in fact the loss of substance and of the substance taking a stance against consciousness."

I think these are the two steps to reaching the "real" interpretation: the idea of authority is irreal and you are and have always been free. The cry that "God is dead" means that all conceptions, rules, forms, etc, are dead matter which the individual has made into a master. In other words: living beings think, but these thoughts are as material as any of the objects you find around you, and so following an idea is as wrongheaded as following a stone.
