"Exaggerated" refers to something that is represented as much larger, better or worse than it actually is.
Exaggeration (or hyperbole) is often used for comedic effect, or it may be used to emphasize the importance or significance of something.
Example: "It's so hot! It's like 500 degrees out here!"
In reality, it is not actually 500 degrees (that would not be survivable), but the person speaking is humorously exaggerating to emphasize how hot it feels.
