A famous example of hyperbole

Answer 1

"I was walking along when suddenly this enormous dog came up to me. It was as big as an elephant". The dog may have been big, but it was certainly not as big as that. Another example of exaggeration would be: "I caught a fish as big as my house."

Some of the best hyperboles come in tall tales. In one Paul Bunyan tale it says, "Well now, one winter it was so cold that all the geese flew backward and all the fish moved south and even the snow turned blue. Late at night, it got so frigid that all spoken words froze solid afore they could be heard. People had to wait until sunup to find out what folks were talking about the night before."
