Hyperbole is a figure of speech that uses exaggeration for emphasis or effect. It's a way of making a statement more dramatic or humorous by overstating the truth.
Examples of hyperbole:
* "I'm so hungry I could eat a horse."
* "I've told you a million times to clean your room."
* "This bag weighs a ton!"
Hyperbole is often used in everyday language, as well as in literature, poetry, and humor.
