Not in the same vein as an over "exaggeration" or an "under exaggeration."
In the act has a similar result to regular exaggeration, but when stated causes the "Oh yeah, I guess I can see that... " response in those who hear it.

Person 1: Ugh, that person ended up keeping me up all night last night! I didn't get to sleep till like 3 in the morning...
Person 2: That's not really all night.
Person 1: It is when you have to wake up at 5 for work the next day, dude. It's an appropriate exaggeration...

Exaggerating the amount or quantity of something by using a completely random number. Can be referred to as RNE.
1. Ted: (Talking to his buddy, Greg, about a large meeting he just had) "The were like 287 people in that meeting."
Greg: "What a random-number exaggeration."
2. Jim: (Walking out of a chinese buffet and talking to his friend, Jim) "I swear there were about 324 black people eating there."
John: "Pretty large RNE, but damn it was packed with them."
Greg: "What a random-number exaggeration."

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.

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.

When you use hyperbole to express something large or long, and then take it back. Usually done quietly.
Sean: There were like a MILLION people at the party! Actually it was more like 40, but whatever.
