If I get your meaning (considering you don't use 'legit' in your e.g. ), that reminds me of a joke we say a lot. Whenever someone revs their car loudly or jumps their gas or any numerous macho things with their car as you're walking alongside, we'll say, "JESUS, that guy's penis was so big it nearly hit me in the face." Or any numerous variations on that joke.

Which also reminds me of some Bostonian slang that a Bostonian friend taught me.

"Mikey Muscles, Tommy Toughnuts, and Bobby Bigwheels."

Mikey Muscles = Guy who shows off his muscles with muscle-shirts, even if he has little to no muscles.

Tommy Toughnuts = Guy who doesn't move out of the way for people walking by. Often will knock shoulders in the process or on purpose and talk **** because the other guy didn't move out of the way enough.

Bobby Bigwhells = Guy with a huge, unnecessarily jacked-up truck. Often the guy is a small and squeacky-voiced. Often found in Texas (where I live).

But don't get me wrong, I love Texas.
