Answer:

Hyperbole

Step-by-step explanation:

Hyperbole is a figure of speech that uses overly exaggerated words, phrases, and statements that are obviously false, in order to emphasize, to add humor or to gain attention on something. The excerpt uses this figurative language because, in reality, the speaker did not lose their head entirely: they simply use this exaggerated statement in order to emphasize how mad and out of control the speaker was.
