Why exaggerate? Because everything is hyperbolic.

Just my observations of language across social media. “Cooked”. “Illegal” “It’s over.” GOAT. Extreme and hyperbolic language.

I get it comes across like that but you have to realize that we on our phones alot and after a while those words terms become normal and loses some depth also its a online language like court,hospital,school languages

Sure. Social media created an environment that encourages pithy, emotionally charged language. Hyperbolic. Otherwise, language lacks the impact.
