Is anyone sick of the word "legit"?

I dont understand it whatsoever. There are better words when describing a point,person or product such as "valid", "good", "nice", or even "cool" it seems it has become an "it" word and not really being understood.
 
If anyone is interested in hopping aboard, I'm pushing for the word "genuine" and all variations to replace it. For example: "That guy is a gen seller." or "These skis are so genu" might fill the void you feel inside you.
 
Sometimes I say it, but when someone else says it I just get really pissed off. My growing hatred for the word grows with each passing day.
 
i have been trying to tone down my usage of the word, but it doesn't bug me to much to hear others say it.
 
Yeah! I won't just say it on NS, I'll say it anytime I would say legit. Let's see, maybe a year from now it will have grown so big, the whole nation will be saying gen or genu instead of legit. I'm in, let's see if we can convert NS. haha, I tend to dream really big. I'll hop aboard for sure!
 
I'm guna start saying the word valid instead of legit. Its gunna be so funny. I always make up catch phrase type things and use them around like as a joke but not really.
 
i say legitimate. solid. serious.

legit sounds dumb. sometimes it slips out but whenever i hear it it pisses me off.

 
yah its getting annoying.. i say it sometimes,,but its like the word sketchy..always misused and overused.

i like the gen-genu idea. im in
 
just pronounce it legito, like leh-hee-toh, and say it like cheech marin would, and its brand new again
 
yea ive never really been a fan of that. i noticed all the laguna beach watching hollister wearing preppy wannabe kids in my school say it all the time
 
I hate when girls use it. They can't do it without making it sound really awkward.. sorry if that's offensive.
 
i don't much care either way, but i bet klick2claim doesn't like it, he doesn't seem to be a fan of useful words.
