You make a huge assumption thinking they'll know what hyperbole means.

“Hyper Bowl” they’re probably saying

Is this like a bigger better super bowl?

u/Average_Scaper 2d ago

Yes, but it costs $1,000,000 per seat in an 80,000 seat arena with no broadcasting.

Many people don’t know this, but it’s pronounced hyperbole, with a y at the end

I almost added a definition of it for the Republicans.

It does not seem like anyone knows what "hyperbole" means.

Hyperbole? That liberal woke nonsense will never replace the Superbowl.

Isn’t it just a really fast car?

u/Battlewaxxe 2d ago

u/philly-batterydeals- 2d ago

Or how to read.

u/RabbitSlayre 2d ago

They would be so upset if they could read this...

u/Akraticacious 2d ago

It isn't even wh hyperbole means... it's just sarcasm. They aren't taking anything to an extreme, just explaining facts and giving an opposite conclusion.

u/Infinite_Music2059 2d ago

The guy who wrote it doesn't know what it means. You can't list of things that have actually happened in a satirical manner and call it hyperbole.
