> "worked" doesn't mean anything.

"worked" means it gets the job done and legacy means it's old. Code only gets old when it worked (at some point). So I don't think this redefinition is that far off.

I think they are referring to the fact that "Legacy" has now been defined as code without unit tests in some circles.

However I agree in general most people mean "Old code I don't want to work on because I don't like the technology it is built in".
