Hyperbole is a figure of speech in which an author or speaker purposely and obviously exaggerates to an extreme. It is used for emphasis or as a way of making a description more creative and humorous. It is important to note that hyperbole is not meant to be taken literally; the audience knows it’s an exaggeration.
Eg. I cried a liter of tears. (No-one cries a liter of tears but it has been shown to exaggerate how long someone has cried).
