Hyperbole

In literature, hyperbole is a way of speaking or writing in an exaggerated manner used to emphasize, to add humor or to gain attention on something. It is common to use words or phrases that are obviously false. The excerpt uses this figurative language because it conveys an idea by using exaggerated phrases that are obviously false like then I lost my head entirely, in order to emphasize how mad and out of control the speaker was.

hope it helps

can you give a thanks

thank you
