Hyperbole is a literary device that uses exaggeration to make a point. Here is an example: the dodgers pitcher must have been throwing 800 mph yesterday because we couldn’t hit him. This statement is hyperbole because nobody can throw a baseball 800 mph--it is clearly an exaggeration. However, this hyperbolic statement (or exaggeration) does make the point that the dodgers pitcher was throwing the ball hard.
Your mission is to listen to the dialogue and identify the hyperboles (or exaggerations) that you hear.
“Dude, yesterday I played the best video game in the history of the world
What game is that?
“Dude, no game in the universe can rival it.”
I get it, I get. What game?
Dude, the whole world is playing this game--it’s so lit.
“For the millionth time, what game are you talking about?
I am talking about Among us
“You like that stupid game?
“Dude, cry me a river. You loved fortnite. Now that game is ancient history. Why on earth are you not playing Among Us?
“I’m drowning in homework, man. And I have a ton of chores to do every day..”
“You are full of crap. You are not “drowning” in homework. We take the same classes. We have one paper due--that’s it.”
That paper is taking me forever, man. The teacher wants a bazillion pages.
“Dude, you are making a mountain out of a mole hill. Just relax, play some among us--and do your paper later.”
“You are the worst friend in the world, you know that? I haven’t slept in months, I am so stressed...and you want me to play a video game.”
“Exactly, you need to relax.”
“Dude, I’m going to beat the living daylights out of you if you tell me to relax one more time.”
“Ha, You will beat me up when hell freezes over.” Dude, you see how tense you are--now you want to fight me?
“Yeah, you are right. I need to chill out. How about we get some grub.
Dude, best idea you have ever come up with. I am so hungry I could eat a horse. Let’s get tacos.
“Great idea, man.”
