There are some interesting examples of hyperbole on the following website. See Related Link below.

A hyperbole is a figure of speech in which statements are exaggerated,
and not meant to be taken litterally.

Examples
  • These books weigh a ton.
  • I'm so hungry, I could eat a horse.
  • I'm so tired, I could sleep for a year.
  • This Wednesday? But that's centuries away! I can't wait that long!
  • I cried a rive of tears when he left me.

Hyperbole is exaggeration or overstatement of facts. An example is the following:

"I've told you a thousand times to stop exaggerating!!!"
"My mom is so fat, when she walks in front of the tv I miss 2 shows!!!"

Well first off, your question is incorrect. You should have said it: What is a example of a hyperbole?

Here's the definition: An statement or figure of speech not intended to be taken literally.

Now here's the example, I have made a few...:

The line to the roller coaster was a wait to enternity

That bee was so huge it could wear a saddle!

Your forehead is so big it could fit a whole new face!

Hope this helped... :D
