What is the example of hyperbolic?

Answer:
Hyperbole is gross exaggeration. A good example would be tall tales from American folklore. You can't really hook up a huge blue ox to a rambling river and "pull it straight." You can't really have a woman bounce all the way to the moon. You can't really ride a tornado. But it makes for a great story.
