Random-Number Exaggeration

Exaggerating the amount or quantity of something by using a completely random number. Can be referred to as RNE.

1. Ted: (Talking to his buddy, Greg, about a large meeting he just had) "The were like 287 people in that meeting."
Greg: "What a random-number exaggeration."

2. Jim: (Walking out of a chinese buffet and talking to his friend, Jim) "I swear there were about 324 black people eating there."
John: "Pretty large RNE, but damn it was packed with them."
