"He's a legend."
That phrase used to mean something. "Legend" used to be reserved only for the special few who truly earned the status. Nowadays, it feels like it's thrown around to anyone. Apparently, there are legends everywhere.

Put simply, nobody knows what the heck constitutes a legend anymore.
