What is hyperbole?

Hyperbole is just a fancy way of saying "exaggeration". It's the opposite of an understatement. Though you may not have heard the term before, I guarantee you will use a hyperbolic phrase at least once a day. Here are some examples:-I've told you a million times!-I'm so hungry I could eat a horse.-Her brain is the size of a pea.-I've got a ton of homework.So, really, all hyperbole is is just a bigger, more extravagant way of saying something.
