Dead, a mile long and everyone: more everyday hyperbole, sentence 9

«EVERYONE in my class has got them» usually means a few children, perhaps four out of thirty; the fair question is «who exactly?».

Who acts: EVERYONE, fair question · What happens: get, mean, be · To what, where: dead, few children · Speech: someone speaks here

This is a sentence of the lesson «Dead, a mile long and everyone: more everyday hyperbole» of the language course of Mova's primary school.
