Religious Exaggeration Mom 

A mom that reads stereotypical bible verses, and doesn't even know that they are stereotypical, that is a religious freak, doesn't let you play with good vs evil toys (like superhero toys and star wars toys), just because she doesn't want "negative energy" in the house, says whatever she doesn't like is of the devil, won't even let you say devil, and won't let you listen to songs that sound like "darkness" to her.

appropriate exaggeration

Not in the same vein as an over "exaggeration" or an "under exaggeration."

In the act has a similar result to regular exaggeration, but when stated causes the "Oh yeah, I guess I can see that... " response in those who hear it.
Person 1: Ugh, that person ended up keeping me up all night last night! I didn't get to sleep till like 3 in the morning...

Person 2: That's not really all night.

Person 1: It is when you have to wake up at 5 for work the next day, dude. It's an appropriate exaggeration...

Person 2: Oh yeah, I guess I can see that...

Hatred-Induced Exaggeration 

When a person exaggerates how bad something is due to sheer anger.
The AVGN is notorious for Hatred-Induced Exaggeration. While most of his reviews are brutally honest and to the point, sometimes he's just complaining to complain.
For example, in the Dick Tracy episode, he gets mad because "the driving controls are bad" and "the snipers (outside) are far too accurate." In reality, however, the driving controls are extremely simple; and the snipers are not NEARLY as accurate as they appear in the video. Not that it makes the game even remotely passable.

Premature exasperation 

Becoming upset about something before knowing all (or any) of the details.
When my parents found out I had been in an accident, my father's premature exasperation kicked in. He freaked out before hearing that some drunkard had rear-ended me at a red light.
