Exaggeration was the act of amplifying the qualities of a statement.
History[]
After the the defeat of the Slitheen family on 7 March 2006, Mickey Smith (TV: World War Three [+]Russell T Davies, Doctor Who series 1 (BBC One, 2005).) wrote on his website that he did not "fake evidence, or make exaggerated claims", when refuting the possibility he was a liar. (PROSE: Hoax This! [+]BBC webteam, Who is Doctor Who? (BBC, 2005).)
Other realities[]
In Earth-33⅓, Susan Foreman thought the First Doctor was exaggerating when he claimed they had landed in an era where characters of dubious or colourful nature could be tippexed from existence, expressing the opinion that the BBC's New Adventures of Noddy wasn't that bad. (COMIC: Doctor Who? 190 [+]Tim Quinn, Doctor Who? (Marvel Comics, 1992).)
