Financially embarrassed? That may be exaggerated (9)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

overdrawn

I believe this clue is a double definition.

'financially embarrassed?' is the first definition.

'exaggerated' is the second definition.
(I've seen this before)

'that may be' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for overdrawn that I've seen before include "venturing into red" , "The big spender's account may be so" , "Using too much crayon" , "account discredited" , "got into debt" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
