Hyperbole - Wikipedia
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HyperboleHyperbole is the use of exaggeration as a rhetorical device or figure of speech. In rhetoric, it is also sometimes known as auxesis (literally 'growth'). In poetry and oratory, it emphasizes, evokes strong feelings, and creates strong impressions. As a figure of speech, it is usually not meant to be taken literally.

For example, see James Tate’s lines “She scorched you with her radiance” or “He was more wronged than Job.”. Hyperbole usually carries the force of strong emotion, as in Andrew Marvell’s description of a forlorn lover: Which through his surging breast do roar. As at the funeral of the world.
