Also known as overstatement
Hyperbole (; adj. hyperbolic ) is the use of exaggeration as a rhetorical device or figure of speech. In rhetoric, it is also sometimes known as auxesis (literally 'growth'). In poetry and oratory, it emphasizes, evokes strong feelings, and creates strong impressions. As a figure of speech, it is usually not meant to be taken literally.
Hyperbole is a form of extreme exaggeration used in speech and writing to emphasize a point, evoke strong emotions, or create a memorable impression. It's not meant to be understood as literally true, but rather as a tool that makes language more vivid and impactful.

誇飾，又稱誇張（英語：Hyperbole），是一种修辞方法。语文中，將客觀之人、事或物的特點，透過主觀情意，故意用誇大鋪張地渲染與鋪飾描述的手法，使它與真正的事實相差很遠，以加深讀者的印象上。 使用誇飾修辭必須注意主觀方面是出自於作者的情意之自然流露，還有客觀方面不致於會被誤為是事實。誇飾修辭可以使句子或文章呈現言過其實、一鳴驚人的效果。如果運用得當，不但可以使再也普通不過的句子，變為新奇鮮明，同時也能夠聳動讀者的情感，加強印象，彰顯作者所要表達的情意，藉以打動讀者的心坎，領略作者的真意。
