HYPERBOLE

  1. I’ve told you a million times.
  2. I am so hungry I could eat a horse.
  3. I have a million things to do.
  4. I had to walk 15 miles to school in the snow, uphill.
  5. I had a ton of homework.
  6. If I can’t buy that new game, I will die.
  7. They ran like greased lightning.
  8. He's got tons of money.
  9. You could have knocked me over with a feather.
  10. Her brain is the size of a pea.

IRONY

  1. A fire station burns down. This is unexpected because one would assume the fire chief would keep his own building safe.
  2. A marriage counselor files for divorce. This is ironic because the expectation is that a professional who coaches couples through rough patches would herself have a strong marriage.
  3. The police station gets robbed. Again, the expectation is that professional crime fighters would be able to help themselves; in this case, by securing their own station.
  4. A post on Facebook complaining how useless Facebook is. This is ironic because one would expect someone who dislikes Facebook to stay away from it instead of using it to make their point.
  5. A traffic cop gets his license suspended because of unpaid parking tickets. Because the traffic cop is usually the one issuing tickets, most people would assume he always followed the rules.
  6. A pilot has a fear of heights. This situation is ironic because airplane pilots spend most of their time at work high in the air.
  7. A member of PETA wears leather shoes. Because PETA members work to protect animal rights, one would assume they would avoid products made from animal skins.
  8. The teacher fails the test. Teachers are usually the ones giving tests rather than taking them, so most people assume they would be expert at passing tests.
  9. A man who needs medical assistance is run over by the ambulance. In this case, the man got the exact opposite of what he needed from the medical help on the scene.
  10. An anti-technology group sets up a website to recruit new club members. People who dislike technology aren't likely to be looking for clubs on the internet, so using technology to recruit is unexpected.
