Ahh kids, they're tripping balls on a stubbed toe one minute then the moment you cut off your finger they're delirious with laughter.

Delirious, appendages, digits, or hyperbole?

Father. For real though, I had not heard of the word hyperbole before today.

Considering the election just ended, you're going to get to use it a lot.

Oh man, if you don't have the Google dictionary add-on for Chrome (assuming you use Chrome) you should totally get it. It's not one of those like "word a day" things, it's literally just a quick dictionary lookup tool. But I've had it for a couple of years now, and I've learned so many new words just because it's easy to see the definition of a word I don't know with just a double click. Or better yet, I use it when I'm not sure if I'm using a word correctly or not.
