having legs
Possessing walking appendages
Having legs describes something equipped with legs, whether literally or figuratively.
A table, chair, or animal has legs in the physical sense.
When applied to ideas, projects, or stories, having legs means possessing staying power or the potential for sustained success: That startup really has legs.
A rumor or scandal with legs keeps circulating and gaining attention rather than dying out quickly.
