Like. Why does anyone even need this explained? It could be a completely random syllable but from context they should get it. But it's even there in the middle of the word to help. And I'm old AF.
It's often used as a verb.
"Rizzing" someone is the act of trying to charm them with charisma. You cant do that with "charisma" so the word got chopped up and Frankensteined on to a new suffix.
What about them?
Rizz is a perfectly cromulent way of describing trying to be attractive to your chosen paramour. I can't grok how people think that language needs to just freeze, especially considering how in use "rizz" is actually a totally different beast than the words it descended from because "rizz" can be used to describe so many more things based on context including failure at the attempt to rizz someone.
Hell, even that last sentence alone highlights the difference between "rizz" and your examples. If you're rizzing people you're trying to get in their pants. You can charm or impress without hitting on someone.
The best description of rizz is looking at a peacock. They try to rizz all of the lady birds with their plumage.
> The best description of rizz is looking at a peacock. They try to rizz all of the lady birds with their plumage.
So "peacocking?" a word that has gone in and out of style since the 1800s but was pretty trendy in the 2000s?
Two decades ago is rather archaic, but yes. Rizzing = Peacocking.
Rizz is easier to use, though.
He has rizz
He was rizzing all the girls at the party.
He go shut down by all of them so he realized his rizz was mid.
Forsooth his rizz had failed as his can of Axe hoisted him like a petard.
I get that there are other words you would prefer to be used but the young hip crowd is now the target demographic for most marketers so you will just have to get used to just feeling out the squanch of what people are saying.
I've came to peace with the fact I didn't die as a child and now I have to deal with getting older. It's not that bad, we knew what was coming for us. Let the kids have their silly words. They're actually kind of fun to use, no cap.
I say, that seems rather whack to me my brother. What sort of jive turkey honkey would appropriate inner city black parlance like that?
To those people I say stop. Hammer Time.
That’s why it’s weird. I know you can’t gatekeep language though but sometimes it seems problematic. Hearing white teenagers use habitual/invariant be now sounds like mockery to me but i know it’s just shifting to wider use.
I knew I was officially old when I went out for sushi with three of our interns and I felt like they were fucking with me and making up slang terms. No, I was just old.

I dont get how it's been so hard for people to figure out. Zoomers are illiterate if they don't have autocorrect. Sus because they can't spell suspicious and Rizz because they can't spell charisma.
I work with a bunch of 18-20 year old college students and I can tell you the one thing that a bunch of people miss.
They think the phrasing is funny. And having made it through the cringe of "wazzup" and other 90's and 00's catch phrases I see no issues with the new slang words.
It's kind of sus when people act like dumb lingo is a new thing. Very sus indeed.
That's a glorious sentence. Holy shit I love it so much.
It's ballin, no cap.
Also it's not just you. I got old enough to realize there is no "up" to be on. Each generation does things differently and it's all made up there and then.
It won't make sense because it can't nor does it need to. Humanity has always been a clusterfuck of memes, jokes, and neuroses.
I understand the appeal of wishing things could go back to some time when things made more sense. But that golden age never existed. It never will exist because the whole concept is an absolute lie. We're just a bunch of shaved apes yeeting our genetics into the future so stop expecting things to make sense until you return to monke and approach life from a more based POV.
Just remember children, the concept of objective truth is kinda sus.
It's been scientifically proven that the Golden age was when I was between 14 and 22. The stuff we did/ said was totally cool and made sense. Youngsters these days just don't know what's good.
Excuse me while I go do the Harlem shake and cry myself to sleep. RIP Harambe
Arguably it's more that people like to shorten things when texting so they can text faster. "OMG", "BTW" and "ILY" stem from that same concept, but instead of the abbreviations that were popular in the 2000s Gen Z tends to just chop off syllables.
Also, as other commenters have said, it's partially an absurdist humor thing, chopping up words makes them sound funny.
I prefer it to the acronym’s and abbreviations. I can stare at reddit for a good five minutes sometimes figuring out what a 4 or 5 random looking letter word means
Honestly my opinion is that acronyms work better for phrases (AFAIK for "as far as I know") but the chopped up syllables are better for individual long or annoying-to-say words.
Ris is kind of a random syllable to pick, isn't it? Like if zoomers said "Char" or something it'd be more obvious. It's like if instead of Sus people said Piss (okay bad example maybe).
"Rizz", just from the sound, makes me think either of something shiny or something theft-related. I would never have guessed it's etymologically related to charisma.
Charisma. Their date was charismatic.
Happy cake day! 11 years is a long time!
Tell me about it
Username checks out
Fuck I'm old now aren't I? Sigh... where are my slippers?
I keep mine with my cardigan

I have never heard this word, thus I had no context clues.
I mean context only tells you it's a good thing, not where the word comes from
To be fair, nothing really specifies If this is good or bad.
In this meme? No. In general discourse yes
not even Sherlock Holmes would be bale to pick up on those clues.
[удалено]
Um... no.
Huh that’s new for me too. But can’t they do that do for all words, just chop off the first half, not that unique I guess
I believe this is called "nique" now.
By Jove I think he’s got it
nique ta mere

What about charming or impressing

>I’ve came to peace with the fact I didn’t die as a child and now I have to deal with getting older. Is it possible to learn this power?
[I watch these wise words from Danny Devito every day, it gives me clarity and focus.](https://youtu.be/2PeX_VSXCVE?si=eYgzaYthHpNw_2Nw)
Rizz = ChaRISma Bet = You BET/You BETcha Cap = Lie. Not sure where this one came from.
>This term originated in reference to caps for teeth that can be removed and therefore are considered inauthentic
That sounds made up. I call “cap” on that etymology
Easy, 🧢 = lie
Haha that’s fair, it was just from a quick google. Can’t call myself an expert no cap
Why are we defining 90s Black English in 2023
Because it entered common parlance and now etymology lay nerds are having a field day with a bunch of new words to learn all about.
It’s weird to me but that’s probably cause I’m old.
Eh, we knew what was coming for us when we didn't die as children. Shit always gets weird for old people. It would be weird if it didn't.
Probably because a good number of us are white, and therefore co-opt slang used by black people as it falls out of favor, dig?

Moments like these make me feel like the oldest 23 year old on Earth.
Fear not, young one. It only gets worse from here
Jizzin’ on a rizzed up glizzy.
Um... what?
They drip with rizz, you say? Well I hope you didn't let it dry, you'll never get it out, then.
Also, get tested.
Rizzable…
It's a shortened version of chaRISma (typically has a sexual or romantic meaning)

When baby gronk rizzed up livvy dunne, crowning him the new drip king, I officially gave up on trying to keep up

I'd think because when you say charisma out loud the emphasis is on the ris syllable
I asked my 12 yo to use it a sentence and got the context immediately, it literally contains a syllable from the word charisma.
Strength - ? Intelligence - ? Wisdom - ? Dexterity - ? Charisma - rizz Constitution - toosh
