Do you understand the concept of “non-stop”? And we’re not talking about toodling along on the interstate through Iowa - have you driven in Alaska or British Columbia?

Oh, I get it, she said “non-stop” right? Are you serious? Hyperbole: this is an exaggeration, a figure of speech used to provide emphasis, to make something stand out and NOT meant to be taken seriously

It rained cats and dogs! ...the shot heard round the world. I’m so hungry I could eat a horse. She’s built like a brick ....house [giving away my age here :) ] He’s got arms like a tank. I was so scared, I ran 100 miles an hour getting away!

You must really dislike Bristol Palin!
