RE: RE: RE: RE: RE: RE: InterestingHere is jhon hamilton's true meaning uncovered he used the term
hyperbole. Here is the true meaning of that word uncovered. Quite funny actually pay cloose attention to the example lol. Guess its not that funny if its you.
Hyperbole (pronounced /ha?'p?rb?li/, hye-PUR-b?-lee[1]; from ancient Greek?pe?ß??? 'exaggeration') is the use of exaggeration as a rhetorical device or figure of speech. It may be used to evoke strong feelings or to create a strong impression, but is not meant to be taken literally.
Hyperboles are exaggerations to create emphasis or effect. As a literary device, hyperbole is often used in poetry, and is frequently encountered in casual speech. An example of hyperbole is: "The bag weighed a ton".[2] Hyperbole helps to make the point that the bag was very heavy although it is not probable that it would actually weigh a ton. On occasion, newspapers and other media use hyperbole when speaking of an accident, to increase the impact of the story. This is more often found in tabloid newspapers, which often exaggerate accounts of events to appeal to a wider audience.
