hyperinflates
Swells beyond capacity
Hyperinflates means to inflate to an extreme or excessive degree.
In economics, a currency hyperinflates when it loses value catastrophically fast—prices doubling in days or hours: The German mark hyperinflated in 1923.
In medicine, lungs hyperinflate when they trap air and overexpand.
Figuratively, anything can hyperinflate: The media hyperinflates every minor scandal.
