Hyperbole

It's so hot today; I'm going to melt if I go outside! (melt = to change from solid to liquid form because of heat) Am I really going to melt? Of course not! This is an example of hyperbole. Hyperbole is exaggerated language. Is there a common hyperbole (such as "my feet are killing me!") in your language?
