Read the following sentences: Is it lunch time yet? I could eat a horse! What is the meaning of the hyperbole, “I could eat a horse”? I am extremely hungry and ready to eat a lot. I am not very hungry and want to eat very little. I can eat an entire horse in one sitting. I enjoy eating different kinds of food.

I am extremely hungry and ready to eat a lot

Figure of speech hyperbole:

This is because the person is asking if it is already lunch time because he is extremely hungry and so he exaggerated that he can eat a to show how hungry he really is.
