Jargon of the day: leg
No, no. I'm not talking about those two long things that you walk with. I'm talking about a different type of leg. In the wonderful world of newspapers the word leg refers to a column in a story. If the story has one column, it has one leg. If the story has two columns, it has two legs.
Here is a picture of a newspaper article I found on google:
This article has two legs, because there are two columns in the story. A headline that only takes up two columns would be considered a two-legged story.
