Overheard

A type of Facebook group, originating at the University of Western Ontario in Canada, in which people post things (stupid, embarrassing, or sexual) that they have "overheard" on school/campus grounds.

Groups include titles like "Overheard at Fanshawe College" etc.
Guy 1: Man I've been saying stupid shit all day so that I could get on overheard.

Guy 2: Shut up. You're annoying.

overheard

An utterance that is so stupid, funny, or ironic that it epitomizes life in New York City and deserves submission to Overheard in New York.
You're in a Brooklyn diner and hear a kid reading the want ads exclaim, "Hey this company wants a biotch!" His friend looks at it and says, "That says biotech, you dumbass." You've got an overheard and you need to share it with the rest of the world.

overrated

A word used to demonize someone or something(usually related to popular culture) when the time or brain capacity needed to define the person/thing isn't present.
Commonly used as a way to show superiority to it, fans of it, or simply people talking about it.
The more popular one of things becomes, the more it loses its artistic integrity with the masses, especially those who group themselves in the 'sophisticated underground culture'.
The funny thing is, so many people are calling things "overrated" left and right today that that term itself is becoming overrated, and so are they.

Person 3: Oh, no, I just... uh... overheard you. Yep.

Overrated

Quite possibly the worst phrase a student section can chant at an athletic event of any type. Though it may be considered an insult to the high-ranked team, by labeling that team as overrated, the chanters are suggesting that their own team has beaten a team that was not very good to begin with.
Tim - OVERRATED!
Bill - Stop saying that because it makes us look like we never should have beat them. It is putting us down because now it only looks like we are beating a team that shouldn't be ranked this high anyway.
