A hyperbole is a type of language that over exaggerates a comparison of two things. "I almost died laughing" is a very commonly used hyperbole. Many people confuse hyperboles with similes and metaphors because it often compares to things, but hyperboles are not realistic comparisans.
I over used hyperboles in my first draft like when I wrote that the kids got licked to death. I changed the sentence to something like, the kids wanted to pet her and get licked by her long pink tongue.
