It's not hyperbole. Lithe communication is the epitome of communication.
The hyperbole is even bigger than the Superbowl.
I disagree with the word hyperbole. In speech, it comflicts with the namespace of -ly words and always sounds like an adverb, which derails my parsing. In writing, it conflits with the namespace of nouns like hole, pole, console, casserole, and letrozole. The only -ole word that I know that doesn't sound like this is guacamole, which doesn't sound like an adverb.
It's a word actively harmful to my understanding and should be stricken from the language. Just use hyperbolic.
