How to use "Hyperbole" in context?
Hyperbole is a figure of speech that exaggerates or infers qualities of things to create a rhetorical effect. It is generally considered a bad way to talk, but in some cases it can be used to great effect to emphasize a point or add humor to a story.
When used sparingly, hyperbole can be a effective means of communication,sounding enthusiastic while still accurately reporting the facts. But when hyperbole is used excessively, it can lead to misinterpretation or be taken literally. That's why it's important to be careful when using hyperbole and to tailor it to the speech situation and audience.
