Hyper-hyperbole
The use of such extreme exaggerations that the simple word "hyperbole" is insufficient -- especially found in partisan political discourse and within the mass media.
The media attacks on President Trump, Republicans and conservatives have soared into a world of hyper-hyperbole.

hypermodernity
Hypermodernity is a design-oriented heuristic that assumes that the part, when deconstructed to an attribute, can become GREATER than the whole. This is in contrast to postmodernism which posits that the WHOLE is greater than the sum of its parts.
A great way to counterpose postmodernism and hypermodernity is to say that while postmodern has an (anti-) object-orientation hypermodernity has an ATTRIBUTE-orientation
Hypermodernity exists in an increasingly fault-tolerant user experience in which objects are being deconstructed to their skeuomorphs (mimetic attributes). A tangible example of this is the touch-screen keypad replacing the flip phone keypad.
This has measurable impact on cultural consumers; who now define a product as an intersection between form and function (analogous to whole and sum-of-parts unity in modernism). Form-function unity induces a parallel revolution in material design and composition. (Even the term “material design” is an oxymoron in postmodernism.)
The increasing prevalence of skeuomorphs in disparate technological contexts and mediums means that culturally, the fake converges with the real in a hyperreality or augmented-reality-as-an-interface existence. This is evidenced by the rise of virtual reality, Google glass, Pokemon Go, virtual geo-cache incentivization, and most significantly, false social nodes (filter bubbles) created by online social networks that have an off-world impact.

In postmodernity, we watched drama on television and interpreted reality as drama; in hypermodernity, we watch reality on television and live in a Trumpian drama.

hyperbolicsyllabicsesquedalymistic
From the album 'Hot Buttered Soul' by Isaac Hayes. The LP held the number 1 R&B album spot for 10 weeks in 1969.
According to a comment on the lyrics (//genius.com/1108119 ), this word was made up by Isaac, and -start quote from Damian v B. (//genius.com/Dyazz):
This word itself doesn’t exist of course, but it does include a few other words:
Hyperbole; exaggerated.
Syllable
Sesquipedalian; a long word with many syllables.
Mistic
Conclusion: Isaac uses a lot of unnecessary long, mystic words.
-end quote
The song titled 'Hyperbolicsyllabicsesquedalymistic' is the second track on side A of the vinyl disc.
The example of how it is used comes from the hook of the song.

Hyperbolic Farting Disorder
A severe and progressive gastrointestinal disease process that starts, usually in young adulthood, that is socially and professionally disabling due to uncontrollable exaggerated farting.
It was so sad to witness the profound humiliation suffered by such an otherwise talented public speaker, due to the cruelty of Hyperbolic Farting Disorder.
