A “class act” is a very good and quite a high level slang term to be able to use.

If someone is a “class act” it means they are very “classy”.  It’s actually a very positive term if someone is a real class act.  They are a great, wonderful, and classy person etc…

BUT… Here is how the phrase is ALMOST ALWAYS used.  It’s almost always a sarcastic one.  That means, people almost always use this phrase to describe someone who is NOT a class act.  They are instead the opposite of a class act.

So imagine someone who is loud, rude, and stupid.  Maybe they are overconfident at the same time.  That would be a terrible combination of character traits for someone to have, but I’m sure we all know people like this.

This loud, rude, and annoying person could be referred to as a “real class act“.   In this case, it means the person is TERRIBLE.

So, when someone says, “Wow, that guy is a real class act” they mean, that guy has a bunch of terrible characteristics.  As I mentioned, these characteristics are often rude, loud, overconfident etc.

It’s important to pay attention to when this term “class act” is used.  If the person is really great, then it’s a positive meaning.  Just remember that most of the time it’s used in a joking way to refer to someone with those negative qualities.

Ok… So that was a really high level and great term for you.  I hope you learned the basic meaning and will start to use it!
