legiti-gate

The political scandal that erupted around Missouri Republican Todd Akin. Akin was the Republican nominee for the US Senate seat currently held by Democrat Claire McCaskill. Akin experienced severe backlash from a wide range of the political spectrum when he suggested on Fox News that women's bodies have the ability to prevent pregnancy during a "legitimate rape." The scandal is known as "legit-gate" after the Watergate scandal during the Nixon administration.

"Many think Akin won't be able to recover after legiti-gate."

"The effects of legiti-gate will ripple beyond Todd Akin and on to regional and perhaps national races."

Legitimate Political Discourse

A brawl, “donnybrook,” fracas, or melee illegally initiated by benighted fools with less real teeth than fingers who are manipulated by an insecure man with an IQ of 60 and a micro-penis.

Don Jr: “Do you want to go to the One America News Network and hang out?”
Eric: “Are you sure? It sounds like Legitimate Political Discourse just waiting to happen.”

Legitimate Solo 

A solo, usually on guitar, that is so melodic and awesome that you must yell "Legitimate solo!" whenever it occurs in a song.

legitimate businessman 

A euphemism for a mobster, usually of the Italian mafia. It usually is used for someone that holds a decent rank (i.e. someone with underlings). While there might have once been a time when it was used in seriousness, it's now almost always used sarcastically.

The Sicilian store owner on my block is a very legitimate businessman. He can get what you're looking for.

Legitimate Win 

When the winning team's score is equally divisible by the amount of periods of play in the game.

1: The Leafs lost last night!
2: Ya, but the score was 4-3, so we actually won. The Bruins' didn't get the legitimate win.
