Hyperbole may also be used for instances of such exaggerations for emphasis or effect. Hyperboles are often used in casual speech as intensifiers, such as saying the bag weighed a ton. Hyperbole makes the point that the speaker found the bag to be extremely heavy, although it was nothing like a literal ton.
