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.

A word used to describe something that was super duper cool. Originally popularized in a Vine, this word has become a common part of many young people's vocabularies.

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."
