Why mostly American people usually say, "it is legit." ? I don't understand why American people always say, it's legit." for mostly context. For example, when I talk about the moon was beautiful and cool, then she said, "yes, it was legit." When I find the answer for this, the meaning is : 1. according Thesaurus legit : trained in a classical or operatic tradition 2. accoring google translation : legit : legal, conforming to the rules. I really don't get what the relations between 'beautiful moon' and 'legit'. And many else contexts that they usually use 'legit'. Or maybe there's a slang definition for this word. Or it is just a habit to say that.
