Legendary? In what sense?
Oh. Right. I forget. Some words in British English are pretty much reverse in American English.
Fer instance, private schools in England are what we call public schools here in the Colonies and vice versa.
Was it Winston Churchill who said, "America and Britain are two peoples separated by a common language."?

There are a lot of performers who truly are “legendary” in their home countries but may not strike more than once or twice here. She was OBE.
This one was pretty good, too.

You know, for some reason, I don't get invited to a lot of parties. In fact, even on the rare occasion where I do get invited to a party, the pre-stamped and addressed RSVP always comes back stamped, "Return to sender. No such address".
Hmmmmm.
