Hyperbole — pronounced high-purr-bow-lee. Hyper (exaggeration, overstatement, magnification, amplification, puffery, above, beyond, super) plus bole (the trunk of a tree.) Hmmmm…..so, an exxagerated tree trunk???? That makes no sense unless one is talking about a giant sequoia. So maybe, rather than hyper-bole, it should be hyper bowl (pronounced high-purr-bow-l). Hyper (super) plus bowl (stadium for a sporting event). Super Bowl. Aha!! That’s more like it!!….
