legitbait

Clickbait that is enticing, but does not mislead the user. It is legitimate and delivers on what it promises to show. Also known as Type I clickbait, the term was originally suggested by Brady Haran (Numberphile on YouTube).
I thought the title for the article: “9/10 Americans don’t know these bizarre facts” was clickbait. But it was legitbait! I didn’t know any of these facts!

seems legit

1) What one would say in a situation that arouses suspicions, but is ultimately determined to pose no threat.

2) What one would say ironically in a situation that is obviously NOT legit, usually dealing with illicit activities such as drugs and pedophilia, or the purchase of knockoff merchandise.
1) This muscle cream isn't a brand I've ever heard of, but there's no ingredients label on it so it can't be steroids. Seems legit.

2a) This 15-year old Christina Hansen wants me to come visit her for a surprise... seems legit!
2b) This guy is asking for 15 bucks for this thousand dollar Gucci bag... seems legit!

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.

legitimate rape

Most women are running around hoping some neanderthal will force his will on them. The very few who don't really want it are the legitimate rape vicims. (Todd Akin, R-Mo)
A Republican representative has said that women don't become pregnant if they are the victim of legitimate rapewhile explaining his anti-abortion views on TV.

Todd Akin, a nominee for Senate in Missouri, also told the Jaco Report that it was rare for a woman to become pregnant after being raped because the 'female body has ways to try to shut that whole thing down'.

The GOP senate hopeful was explaining his no-exception rule when it comes to abortion.

legitimate rape

An extremely inappropriate way saying that a specific incidence of rape has been investigated and determined to have occurred in an illegal manner.
“If it’s legitimate rape, the female body has ways to try to shut the whole thing down,” Todd Akin explained to a St. Louis TV station in 2012 before losing his race for US Senate.
Todd Akin went on to claim that if the female body does not shut down and a baby is born it will be a special little child.

Todd Akin gave the following example: “I had a number of people in my campaign that were children…who were conceived in rape.”
