when someone says 'classic', it means, perfect, or great, or whatever. It could also be said sarcastically, as in 'this is classic', in the most horrible of situations. hope I helped, please rate me.

ok when someone says classic i think it means a unforgettable moment. like if someone says a good comeback or does something that is memorable its soooooooooo classic. overated means people make too big of a deal about the thing in mention.

When someone says "Ah, that's a classic" which means, it's been done alot but it's always good. Like when someone does a classic joke like putting salt on butter and telling the person that the salt makes the butter warm, then they say to put their hand over it then slam their hand into the butter, that's a classic. When someone says that something is overrated, it just means that it isn't all that great. If I were to say that Paris Hilton is overrated, it means that everyone seems to like her, but I think that she's not all that.

Classic, in that sense, just means that it was really good.

Overrated is like...say there's a band. And you've heard this band on the radio, and they were okay. It was kind of catchy, not really something you'd want to hear over and over again. But then you go to the store and there are all these posters for this band and 5 out of every 6 people say it's their favorite band and they play this band on the radio CONSTANTLY. They'll play one song by this band, a song by somebody else, and another song by this band. And you're totally sick of them, but they're EVERYWHERE and EVERYONE loves them and it makes you want to hit yourself with a brick. That's overrated.

How it would work for phones...well they're supposedly such a great invention, right? But like...why do we need them? We can just walk to our friend's house. Oh, wait, this is America. We just grab an extra extra large taco and log on (hahaa).

First:

Classic means really old-school. The "oldest trick in the book." Like a pie in the face is just about the oldest novelty, or a child being told off for dipping his sister's pigtails in ink. A classic, get it???

Overrated means that people act like it's way better than it actually is. Like you might say "Harry Potter is so overrated. Everybody likes it so much, but Robin Hood is way better."

Classic means old but popular.

Overrated means that people said it was WAY better than it actually is.

in example- Everyone was talking about a certain movie. When you saw that movie, you didn't think it was as good as people said - therefore it was overrated
