What is "hyperbole"?

Hyperbole is a figure of speech that involves exaggerated statements or claims not meant to be taken literally. It is used to emphasize a point or create a strong impression by overstating something beyond its normal limits. For example, saying "I have told you a million times" is an exaggeration meant to stress the speaker's frustration with repetition. Hyperbole adds emphasis and can make descriptions more vivid or dramatic.
