Definition:
A hyperbole is a literary device wherein the author uses specific words and phrases that exaggerate and overemphasize the basic crux of the statement in order to produce a grander, more noticeable effect. The purpose of hyperbole is to create a larger-than-life effect and overly stress a specific point. Such sentences usually convey an action or sentiment that is generally not practically/ realistically possible or plausible but helps emphasize an emotion.
Example:
“I am so tired I cannot walk another inch” or “I’m so sleepy I might fall asleep standing here”.
what about “heavy heart” ???
what about “if you have half a brain”
If you like making love at midnight, in the dunes of the cape

How about “smoke is coming out of your ears”???
What about broken head?
Winds so relentless that they could carve callously into walls
How about “Fear in my bones”?
