If my friend caught a fish weighing 1Kg and I went around telling others that it weighed 2Kg, I'd be exaggerating; if, however, I said that it was 500Kg, that would be a gross exaggeration. It wouldn't be overexaggeration, as there isn't a predetermined threshold to exceed. Stating anything more than 1Kg is an untruth.
