'A legend in one's own lunchtime' = huyền thoại/người hùng trong chính giờ ăn trưa của mình -> nghĩa là người tưởng rằng mình quan trọng nhất/ có ảnh hưởng nhất, mà thực tế không phải vậy (a person who affects or believes him- or herself to be of greater importance or notoriety than is actually the case. A humorous, ironic twist on the phrase "a legend in one's own lifetime").
Ví dụ
With the white boots and the attitude, Kieran Richardson was a legend in his own lunchtime — and in his dreams.
The assistant manager acts as if she's the only one keeping the company together. She's a regular legend in her own lunchtime.
The editor in those days was Michael VerMeulen, a larger-than-life character from Chicago who was literally a legend in his own lunchtime.
Milo is a bit of a legend in his own lunchtime, and most people have never heard of him, but for the hard right and the hard left he is an icon of either truth or lies. Actually he is neither. A fringe journalist with a troubled past, he reinvented himself as a self-defining fierce, fearless spokesman for those waging war against the chimera of political correctness.
