przesada//przesadna interpretacja//nadinterpretacja Explanation: nadinterpretacja «interpretacja wykraczająca poza komentowane fakty, wypowiedzi itp., niemająca dostatecznego uzasadnienia» https://sjp.pwn.pl/sjp/nadinterpretacja;2485724.html (figuratively, transitive) To make inaccurate by exaggeration. To say crossing the street was brave is stretching the meaning of "brave" considerably. To say he's been to this park a million times is stretching the numbers. The true number is around 30 or 40. https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/stretch#:~:text=(intransitive... A course of thought which diverts from straightforward logic, or requires extraordinary belief or exaggeration. It's a bit of a stretch to call Boris Karloff a comedian. To say crossing the street was brave was quite a stretch. |
