Hyperbole is a figure of speech in which exaggerated or extravagant statements are used to create a strong impression or emphasis. It is often used for effect, humor, or to make a point more forcefully. Examples of hyperbole include phrases like "I'm so hungry I could eat a horse" or "I've told you a million times to clean your room."
