The act of exaggerating a story that is not that exciting in order to get a reaction from listeners.
Like in a
sandwich adding mayo makes the sandwich better, the same goes for a
dry story.
person
1:"i went into the
fridge the other day and the milk was so off that when i took a sniff i vomited my entire breakfast back up!"
person 2: mate i think your adding mayo to that story, no
one cares about your off milk
