Truthful hyperbole

1. An exaggeration so big that it creates a black hole no truth can enter
2. Bullshit

Apple salesman: The iPhone 7 has every feature anyone could possibly want!
Jason: Bullshit, what about the headphone jack?
Mike: Chill, he's just using a truthful hyperbole.
Jason: So, bullshit?
Bob: Sounds like bullshit to me.

narrative hyperbole

Narrative hyperbole is when the narrator of a comic book says one thing while the action drawn on the pages clearly show something else. Sometimes, in the case of speech hyperbole, it is a character who says one thing, while the pages show differently. This does not mean the narrator or the character is always wrong. It only means that in the case of such conflict, the actual scenes overrule the narrator or character text.

An example of this would be the Ten-Eyed Man, who Batman and the narrator called "the most dangerous man alive", and who was actually a very lame and low-powered character.

Anabolic Hyperbole

When one googles the internet to find a contrary opine conspiracy theory blog post or opinion to support their own fear mongering nonsense.

WOW, now that Trump is the new president all the liberals are thinking there's a white power conspiracy like their socialist conspiracy to support the anabolic hyperbole.

Cone of Hyperbole

The yellow/red graphic "cone" on a weather map when a hurricane is far, far away that includes hundreds and hundreds of miles of coastline and causes TV meteorologists to go nuts and needlessly alarm the general population.

Area residents from Miami to Brownsville should begin to take precautions as we don't know where this potentially strong storm might, or might not, make landfall. The areas in red or yellow are all within the cone of hyperbole.

Reverse Hyperbole

A simile that uses an antonym to describe the lacking quality that is presented.

An example of a reverse hyperbole: I’m sleep like I have insomnia.
