To equate it to something everyone can understand:

A true hack would be like someone actually breaking into your house. Maybe they kicked the door in. Maybe they used the backdoor you left unlocked. Either way, they are in your house.

A DDOS is like a group of teenagers knocking on your doors and windows at 3am just to piss you off.
