Hyperbole.

Explanation:

Hyperbola means exaggeration as a written stylistic means. Hyperbola is a language image in which an object is depicted in distorted proportions, greatly exaggerated. Hyperbola has been widely utilized, for example, in folklore, lyric, burlesque, satire, and humorous literature. Hyperbola can be used to enhance the central idea of a text.
