a redundant phrase, since each word can mean the same thing. however, due to its rhyming scheme, it seems to be a more definitive way of saying someone or something lost.
beat-you lost the tennis match 6-4, 6-4, 6-3 to a very good opponent.
defeated-you lost your previous match 6-3, 6-2, 6-2 to an average player.
beat and defeated-your kid brother won a match against you 6-0, 6-0, 6-0 even though he had spent the last week sick in bed with the flu and he wasn't wearing his glasses. this, my friends, means you were beat 'n' defeated. soundly.
