Abstract
This paper examines the use of hyperbole on the social media platform X, from a corpus of 1000 tweets collected between 2021 and early 2023. Keeping in mind the different ways in which hyperbole can be used, and how it differs from Extreme Case Formulation (Pomerantz 1986), verbal (Claridge 2011) and visual instances (Callister & Stern 2007) will be studied, showing that people have adapted to the lack of paralinguistic cues online, and have found new ways of expressing themselves.
