legit

a shortened form of the word "legitimate". however, this term is nowhere near the real meaning of "legitimate", since it is commonly used to describe things as cool or extremely awesome.

guy 2: uhmm no
guy 1: oh you missed out. it was legit.

legit

Short for "legitimate". NOT short for "legitimately" which is a totally different word. The difference is roughly the same as between "good" and "well" – in case you cared. An extremely popular yet badly understood filler word.

Sparky: "IKR? He could've been literally one of the greatest, though."

Legit

A word hipsters are trying to use to replace "cool" and "awesome." As if hipsters needed help, they sound less intelligent every time they use the word incorrectly in this way.
