Hyperbole is the use of exaggeration as a rhetorical device or figure of speech. In rhetoric, it is also sometimes known as auxesis. 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.

Examples of hyperbole are:

•They ran like greased lightning.

•He's got tons of money.

•Her brain is the size of a pea.

•He is older than the hills.

•I will die if she asks me to dance.

•She is as big as an elephant!
