Understeer is when the nose wants to run wide, say going round a roundabout, understeer is when you can't hold the tight line, and the car's front end is sliding away, trying to leave the roundabout.

Oversteer is where the front end follows the desired line, but the back end drifts wide like it wants to overtake you, and is mucho scary!
