ADHD superbowl..?
I prefer using this word in its adverb form. It sounds so fancy.
Hyperbolically, I told him I would rather die then go out with him.
Best word ever.
Now he tasted the rare and godlike joys of the man who sees his flights of hyperbole come true. -- ''Yashima, or, The Gorgeous West'' by R T Sherwood, 1931.
This is, hands down, the absolute greatest word in the entire history of language, an unparalleled masterpiece of phonemic perfection, harbinger of the futility of all other words. Would I lie? If English were a nation-state, hyperbole would be king, nay, emperor, nay, supreme benevolent dictator of the universe.
And overthrowing it, friend, is nowhere near even the slightest glimpse of possibility.
I overthrow hyperbole - what is hypobole - undershoot??????
I like to "spew vitriolic hyperbole" while intoxicated. Usually of a misantropic inclination...
