irrati0nal · Answer

Hyperbole is an exaggerated statement or claim that isn't meant to be taken literally. 

For example, "The girl took forever to get ready for the date."

This is hyperbole because it didn't really take the girl forever to get ready, it just took her an extended period of time.
