Answer Details
Hyperbole refers specifically to exaggeration for emphasis. Hyperbole is a literary device that involves exaggerating or overstating something to make a point, add humor, or create emphasis.

The exaggeration is usually obvious and not meant to be taken literally, but rather to make a point more strongly.
