What is a Hyperbole?

It Is a exaggeration !

HYPERBOLE IS A FIGURE OF SPEECH WHICH IS AN EXAGGERATION. PERSONS OFTEN USE EXPRESSIONS SUCH AS "I NEARLY DIED LAUGHING," "I WAS HOPPING MAD," AND "I TRIED A THOUSAND TIMES." SUCH STATEMENTS ARE NOT LITERALLY TRUE, BUT PEOPLE MAKE THEM TO SOUND IMPRESSIVE OR TO EMPHASIZE SOMETHING, SUCH AS A FEELING, EFFORT, OR REACTION.
