hi! everyone

could you tell me the meaning of following phrase and how to use it ?

2: it is cracked up to be
  

Top answer

1) in the back of my mind - something I'm not actively thinking about but keeps occuring to me/something I do need to remember and do something about. 2) This is only used in the negative: 'not all it is cracked up to be'. It means that something does not live up to its reputation.
