Legit = legitimate or legimately???? Urbandictionary says like this below ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- legit 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. Melvin: "Bill Murray must be legit the most underrated comedian ever!" Sparky: "IKR? He could've been literally one of the greatest, though." ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- But I often see legit used as an adverb. I'm legit happy. She is legit a sololist. etc. Please would anyone mind explaining about it? Thank you in advance!!!
