Hyperbole is a rhetorical device that involves exaggerated statements or claims not meant to be taken literally. It is often used for emphasis or to convey strong emotions, creating a dramatic effect. For example, saying "I'm so hungry I could eat a horse" emphasizes extreme hunger without suggesting a literal intention to consume a horse. Hyperbole is commonly found in poetry, literature, and everyday speech.
