1. puffing

   Puffing generally refers to an exaggeration or hyperbole in the promotion, marketing, or advertising of a product or service. It is often subjective and non-specific, making it unlikely to deceive because no reasonable person would take it literally or rely on it. It is a common practice in sales and business to attract customers and create a highly favorable impression.

He was not puffing things up when he told the investigators that he intended ‘to kill as many people as [he] could.’ He shot our building manager, Leo Johnson, shattering the major bones of his left arm.
