Foolishly overconfident statement heard from celebrity at the end? (6,4,5)
I believe the answer is:
famous last words
'foolishly overconfident' is the definition.
I don't know anything about this answer so I cannot tell whether it can be defined by this definition.
'statement heard from celebrity at the end?' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite understand how this works, but
'statement' could be 'word' (word is a kind of statement) and 'word' is present in the answer.
'from' could be 'o' (I've seen this in other clues) and 'o' is found in the answer.
'the' could be 't' (the is pronounced as a 't' sound in some dialects) and 't' is located in the answer.
This explanation may well be incorrect...
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for famous last words that I've seen before include "Passing comment" , "Ill-judged comment" .)
