academic exaggeration

When your professor draws an extra distinction where one barely exists or none exists in an effort to prove to you their superior understanding of the material. Typically used on examples and counterexamples brought up by the class.

A: "Actually, the truth condition of 'Santa Claus is your parents' is false. 'Santa Claus' refers instead to the idea of a fat man going down a chimney and leaving gifts, and your parents don't fit those descriptors..."
B: "....gdi."

----------

B: ">_>"
C: "Whoa, Richard used academic exaggeration on you again didn't he?"

GUY 1: "Dude, last night was SO EPIC!"

GUY 2: Bro, we stood around in a backyard and you blacked out at 11:20pm, these events surely do not qualify as EPIC.

GUY 1: "SOOOOOOO EPIC!!!"

GUY 2: You're being an Epic Exaggerationist, and hence a douche.

Pre-emptive exaggeration

The act of exaggerating a story, because you think everyone will assume you are whether you do or not.

Pre-emptive exaggeration would be telling your friends you were in line for 2 hours when it was only 1, because you know if you say 1 they will assume you were exaggerating and it was only half an hour.

2. (noun) The act of using a lexical exaggeration. (see 1)

Speaker 1: Sorry for bumping you on the shoulder.
Speaker 2: I personally did not appreciate the manner in which you interacted with my glenohumeral joint. Due to this misdemeanor I will not engage in the acceptance of your apologetic response.
Speaker 1: Wow, thanks for the lexical exaggeration, asshole.

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.

It is very hard to live with a Religious Exaggeration Mom
