Hyperbole is a figure of speech that consists of exaggerating or excessively increasing a situation, fact, or characteristic in order to emphasize or create a dramatic effect.
It is used to grab the listener’s or reader’s attention and is often a non-literal expression. For example, “I have a million things to do” or “he ran faster than the wind.”
Hyperbole is common in poetry and everyday language to convey intense emotions or create vivid imagery.
