WHAT does it mean? to act over....?

Question

act over
act out
out-act

Answer 1

"To act over" - means to "do something about"; it is usually used only by newspapers or magazines when they don't have enough room to write "do something about" in their headlines; for example: "Government to act over teenage drinking" = means the Government intends to take action to prevent or reduce teenage dringing.

To overact - means to "act badly", or "to be a bad actor" (as in the theatre)

"to act out" means to re-enact, or play a situation, real or imaginary. "To act out one's dreams" means to actually do something that you've dreamed about doing.

"To out-act" means "to act better than" - "Sir Lawrence Olivier out-acted averybody else in the cast of this film".

Answer 2

act out: to make-believe (something), for example to mime it. It can also mean (for a little kid) to misbehave (especially in public), but that's usually "act up"
out-act: to be a better actor than
