anti-climax
came! We saw! (We left fast!)
Two opposite ideas set up against each other, e.g. Her friend’s
contrast
success made her own failure worse.
A mild word used instead of an embarrassing one, e.g. She passed

euphemism
over (instead of, She died).
hyperbole A deliberate exaggeration, e.g. A big man in mountainous.

different from the literal meaning, e.g. Standing in a storm and
