Because if every single pair of shoes were ruined you could literally tell by the fact he was barefooted when he told the story.

If it is quantized and you suspect that he is telling the truth in this case that 3 pairs of shoes were ruined then it is not a hyperbole, because you can take what he said literally. Now if he said he lost 3 million pairs of shoes then yes, it is a hyperbole, because hopefully you should know your friend does not own three million pairs of shoes. The point is you are suppose to read between the lines, and figure things out for yourself and not get bent out of share over little things, like he said "all" and I know for a fact it wasn't "all." How dare he!

Some person misused the word "irony" in a post. Who, what, where, when and how?
