Here's a breakdown:
* Hyperbole: A figure of speech that uses exaggeration to emphasize a point or create a humorous effect. It's often used to make something seem bigger, better, worse, or more dramatic than it actually is.
Examples:
* "I'm so hungry I could eat a horse."
* "That movie was so boring it made me fall asleep standing up."
* "My backpack weighs a ton!"
Hyperbole is a common rhetorical device used in everyday speech, literature, and advertising.
