Hyperbole - (Pronounced     'hy-per-bollee' - emphasis on the 'per' syllable) - Hyperbole is an extreme and     figurative exaggeration or overstatement, which in strict grammatical terms is     not generally expected to be taken seriously or interpreted literally, for     example, "I've been waiting for ever for a bus," and yet where hyperbole is     used for motivational or persuasive effect in business or politics, the     technique very often intends to convey maximum impact on an audience, for     example, "You'll never have another opportunity like this..." The word derives     ultimately from the Greek root words: huper, over, and ballein, to throw.
Hyperinflation - An     extraordinarily high rate of economic inflation during which a country's prices     rise and currency loses its value uncontrollably in a vicious cycle, usually     occurring during severe political instability or war. Normally inflation is     measured in terms of a few percentage points increase per year - typically     below 10% and sometimes approaching 20%. By contrast hyperinflation may be at a     rates of tens of percentage points increase per month, and in extreme rare     cases hundreds of percentage points per month. In this event, where prices can     be doubling and currency values halving every few weeks (or days, in very rare     situations), a country is forced to issue new banknote denominations of     ludicrously high values, and within living memory news stories have featured     workers collecting their wages in wheelbarrows.
