Hyperbole is a figure of speech that involves exaggerated statements or claims that are not meant to be taken literally. It is often used for emphasis, dramatic effect, or humor. For example, saying "I'm so hungry I could eat a horse" is a hyperbole because it exaggerates the speaker's hunger to make a point. Hyperbole is commonly found in poetry, everyday language, and various forms of rhetoric, as it allows for vivid expression and can enhance the emotional impact of a statement.
