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
