Meet Purple Lee
He is a relatively new member of our home.
Please do not say hello to him.
Oh, don't get us wrong, he is friendly, lovable, and loves people.
We prefer you only say "Hi" to him
That way all the members of our house can giggle uncontrollably when we hear you say,
"Hi Purple Lee!"
hyperbole (hye-PER-buh-lee): A figure of speech in which deliberate exaggeration is used for emphasis. Many everyday expressions are examples of hyperbole: tons of money, waiting for ages, a flood of tears, etc. Hyperbole is the opposite of litotes.
