Note:
Hyperbole is a literary device that has been abused in massive scale, from superpower presidents to ordinary citizens in the routine forwarded mails or other social media. The humour bubble bursts with overblown air. It is misunderstood as adages. We see varied repeats of historical hoaxes, in the pretexts of hollow human rights slogans, freedom, democracy and even in trade disputes. The intention is to bluff, bully and control another. This is the AGE OF TALKING BIG.
