hyperinflated
Blown up ridiculously
Hyperinflated describes something inflated to an extreme or excessive degree.
Literally, it applies to objects filled with too much air or gas: a hyperinflated balloon ready to pop.
In economics, hyperinflated describes currency or prices during hyperinflation, when money loses value catastrophically.
Figuratively, it suggests exaggeration or overestimation: hyperinflated ego, hyperinflated expectations, hyperinflated sense of self-worth.
