No doubt different people have different definitions of "overheating", and of course there are degrees of overheating. Just in my own mind, the coolant doesn't have to boil to say the car is overheating. I'd say a car has an overheating condition or propensity if the cooling system is unable to recover from a temperature excursion and in a reasonable time return the coolant temperature to normal, however you'd like to define that.
