Legit
意味: Shortened form of 'legitimate,' meaning genuine, real, or truly good.
'Legit' works as both an adjective ('that place is legit') and an adverb ('I legit cried'). As an adjective, it means authentic, trustworthy, or genuinely good. As an adverb, it means 'genuinely' or 'seriously.' It carries more weight than 'really' — saying something is 'legit' implies you've verified it yourself.
