With my daily e-mail came a rather fantastic quote! I'm adding it to my favourites :)
Word of the Day
hyperbole \hy-PUHR-buh-lee\, noun:
Extravagant exaggeration.
Hyperbole comes from Greek hyperbole, "excess," from hyperballein, "to exceed," from hyper, "beyond" + ballein, "to throw."
Those were the days when I still liked hyperbole, before an excess of real drama killed my taste for the manufactured kind.
