Tedious, no one ever has, nor ever will, love you. See, I'm damn good at hyperbole. It's an easy thing. It's exaggeration. The only way to mess it up is to not exaggerate at all. Also, considering you went into a flurry trying to defend against the emphasis I placed, I'd say it was damn effective in making a point to you.

Unfortunately, hyperbole can fall on idiots' ears.

Um... Noid...

Hyperbole:
1. obvious and intentional exaggeration.
2. an extravagant statement or figure of speech not intended to be taken literally, as “to wait an eternity.”

What you just did there in that quote is actually:

Irony:
1. the use of words to convey a meaning that is the opposite of its literal meaning: the irony of her reply, “How nice!” when I said I had to work all weekend.

Now, what word am I looking for here... ah yes:

Jackass:
1. a male donkey.
2. a contemptibly foolish or stupid person; dolt; blockhead; ass.

Bingo. See the landmark post where Kane Knight actually supported me for further clarification on this.
