karissafrazier:

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.

like, "it's raining cats and dogs" or "i slept like a rock", "these high heels are killing me" "that dog just spoke"
