No, but it certainly seems like hyperbole is the default for Americans. Everything is “awesome, “amazing,” “SO fucking _____,” “the most,” “the worst,” “the best”… I don’t think they understand how strange it sounds to most people, speaking that way about nearly everything.

    You're not wrong, I was just poking fun at the original comment making a hyperbolic statement about hyperboles

    I'd bet that a lot of it comes from how pervasive advertising is; we're constantly bombarded by ads that use that kind of language, so it's worked its way into everyday language
