A 'hyperbole' (Hy-per-bill-ea) is a phrase that is only half true, due to the speaker blowing certain things out of proportion. For example: 'I have amillion things to do this afternoon'. 'Dad! Everyone's going to that concert!'. 'Jargon' (jarr-gonn) Is the use of overly scientific or very specific and unusual words to make the speaker know what they're talking about. For example: 'The Square is the second in a series of regular, second dimension of Regular polygons and the interior angles all sequenced to a total of a full circle.'
