Hyperbole is a figure of speech in which exaggeration is used for emphasis or dramatic effect. It involves stretching the truth or making an exaggerated statement that is not meant to be taken literally. Hyperbole is commonly used in literature, poetry, and everyday language to enhance descriptions, create humor, or convey strong emotions. For example, saying "I am so hungry I could eat a horse" is a hyperbolic expression to emphasize extreme hunger.
