Legit new
A popular phrase!
"Legit" is a slang term that means "genuine" or "authentic." It's often used to describe something that's real, true, or not fake.
For example:
- "This new restaurant is legit, I've been there three times already!" (meaning it's a great, authentic place)
- "I'm not sure if this deal is legit, it seems too good to be true." (meaning it might be a scam or not genuine)
The term "legit" has been around since the 1980s, but it gained popularity in the 2000s with the rise of hip-hop and rap music. It's now widely used in informal settings, especially among younger generations.
So, if someone says something is "legit," they're essentially saying it's the real deal!
