I have never heard anyone other than my father, who was a guidance system specialist in the U.S. Army in the 1960's and 70's use it.He was stationed in Europe for almost two decades.Just wondering if anyone else has ever heard it.

"Hey John, why is the can opener not working?"
"I don't know dude, maybe the hyperbolic anerocerator is broken."

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.
