"Last Word" by J.L Westover

Rizz = chaRISma
Use it the way your parents would use "game".
- Use it the way your parents would use "game".
  Ok so it's like this::
  Did you win the rizz?
  This meat is a little rizzy.
  Don't play rizzes with me.
  
  Yup, you got it!! 😁🤭
  
  Zelda Breath of the Wild is a very unique videorizz
  
  no obviously he's talking more like:
  im going hunting for some rizz.
  this meat has a rizzy taste.
  
  Excellent
- I saw this elsewhere, but the term rizz does imply the existence of other words to shorten all the typical rpg attributes.
  Unsure what they would all be, but I'm thinking these other four seem pretty easy to agree upon:
  Toosh = constitution
  Tren = strength
  Teri = dexterity
  Telli = intelligence
  
  Roll for nish
  
  Thanks, I hate it
  
  Yeah those are all abbreviated con, str, dex, and int. I wonder why charisma isn't abbreviated cha. Maybe that was too close to con?
- Ah. It's a lot more tolerable knowing that. Now what about "drip"?
  
  Drip refers to how someone dresses. Someone who is drippy has a lot of style.
  Also, this has been in circulation for a few years now.
- It's started to be used as in "flirt" though, as a verb (or at least my young cousin has used it this way that I've heard). As in, you rizz someone -> you flirt with someone. It sounds really strange when you know it (used to) mean charisma, but whatever.
  
  I think it's short for rolling charisma on them since D&D has become a pop culture source now
  Especially with all the memes about horny bards and reminders that persuasion is not rolling for mind control.

It's just an abbreviation of charisma.
- Woah.
  regresses 10 years in age
  thanks, youngblood.
- And for that reason I'm out
- Why?

Long ago, I had had an idea of an rpg where you play as an introvert with sever anxiety. Each dialogue is a fight.
New style learned : young talk.
Effects in dialogue : cause cringe status effect to surrounding characters if they are young adults or younger, otherwise cause confusion.
- Disco Elysium is sorrrrta like that, if you squint a bit.
  Not focused around being an introvert or different dialogue styles exactly, but you're a mess of a human being and conversations can literally hurt you, as it tracks your mental health as well as physical.
  You should try it if you haven't already.
  
  It also does damage to you as the person sitting in front of the screen whenever you disappoint Kim!
  
  Heard of the name but never really checked it. Reading the wiki, my idea wouldn't achieve a 1/100 of the depth this game has to offers. Very impressive game .
- That is a great i idea.
  
  I have quite a lot of ideas and whil I am an amateur programmer,such games need stellar writing to be worth it and I doubt I can pull it off. Also, while the art doesn't need to be very fancy, I can't draw for beans.

Every generation does this. The boomers had their fair share of dumb slang terms as well but for some reason everyone loves to hate the next generation for doing the exact same thing.
- I remember being young and referring to things da bomb. Or something cool could also be fly. People would refer to themselves as home skillet. Booyah.
  
  Waaaaaaazaaaaaaabi
  
  Dang, Gina
  
  I still call things the bomb :(
- "cool" though, "cool" never dies
  
  Honestly this is just the process of language evolving. Some slang words are born and fade into obsecurity once the novelty wears off, others get used so much that they become part of the language for ages to come. Some even become formal terms given enough time.

Rizz is a shortened word for 'charisma' and specifically for skill in charming or seducing a potential romantic partner, especially through verbal communication.
- knowledge rizz
- That's so rizz

I used to be with "it," then they went and changed what was "it." Now what used to be "it" is lame, and what is "it" is new and scary. And it will happen to you too!!!!

Only you can stop it, by being old and using it wrong. You bunch of rizzers.
- Rizzer please!
  
  I feel like you're playing a dangerous game there, and I respect it.

Rizz was the final straw for me. I no longer have any interest in attempting to understand today's youth.
They just need to shut up and get off my lawn.
- The first time I yelled at young people to get off the grass was oddly freeing.
  I now fully embrace the grump.
- I've never heard the term before. I guess that makes me extra old.

Skibidi rizz fanum tax ohio level 10 gyat sigma no cap rip bozo L take based wat da dog doin cuh
- How do you do fellow rizzers?
  
  I don't think you can say that word.
- Floating toilet heads flirt as a method of stealing your food, which only happens in Ohio as thats where a lot of cryptids are supposed to come from, and also have voluptuous posteriors, an ultra-capitalist competitive outlook, and I am so confident this is the truth I will mock your relative performance to mine as inadequate and, finally, a dog joins in as a non sequitur because humans are doing it and using synecdoche I am implying you are also just a sheep.
  You can call me Baby Gronk Rizz King, Livvy Just Rizzed Him Up
  I am fucking 40 years old by the way.
  
  Based boomer
  
  Go touch some grass.
- Now excuse me while I age like an old computer, because I can't process most of this... sentence?
  
  Me neither
- Woah dude!! Rexk a bit, man!

I'm so groovy I will never get old, daddy-o.
- Back to the nursing home with you!

Or you become the word...
- Mood
  (Am I doing this right?)
  
  Mood
  (I think we're doing it this is exciting)
  
  My teen says "yes" through her expression of mirth, disgust, and dismay.
  
  Bet
- that's pretty fly my main man
  
  Hella.

- We were not allowed to walk around in clothing that is revealing like today's kids are. That's the rebellion and well, call me a dirty old man but i'm sure enjoying it.
  
  Woe betide you're seen wearing the same top on instagram though, that's where the opprobrium comes from nowadays.

Rizz at least makes some sense as a shortened version of charisma.

I knew it was my time to join the old group when "slaps" became popular.
- Is "slaps" still popular though? I remember that from around 2010 and have not heard it recently.
  
  Idk, in my mind it still slaps
  
  I see it online all the time.
- Slaps? I'm not even past my 20 and dunno what's that.
  
  It's used to imply something is good, ie. "that slaps!"

Has anyone ever found a slang term coined in the last decade that they unironically enjoy using?
- Yeet
  
  Yoink
  
  Send it
  
  I am not fond of slang, but even I have to admit it is a fun word. It also has a great meaning. To throw something with great speed in any general direction but usually quite far.
  He yeeted his phone out the window when he noticed there was a spider on the screen. It was not the best decision, but it was the choice he made.
  
  Yes! It always makes me smile to hear it used. I think it sounds weird coming out of my own mouth, but it perfectly accentuates a funny story.
  
  Hate that one. It just doesn't feel like something being thrown with force to me.
- Vibe check is an interesting one
- Fam isn't bad.
- Vibe, cringe, drip, mid
  
  Cringe is a very old and commonly used word.
- I like l33t. That's from the last decade, right?
  
  No, that goes as far back as the 80s and was fairly common by the 90s.
- Not even close. Gen Z/Alpha have shit taste for slang.
  
  Yeah, that's what every generation says. I'm impressed by slang that stands the test of time, like "cool." It's been around for 80 or so years!

It's short for charisma and you use it if you have none.
- Okay but what is minging
  
  This Calypso. It's minging!

I used to be with ‘it’, but then they changed what ‘it’ was. Now what I’m with isn’t ‘it’ anymore and what’s ‘it’ seems weird and scary. It’ll happen to you!
- Finally, never being cool is paying off. I have so much practice not knowing what "it" is and it makes getting old so much easier.

Haha
Swish
Haha
Kobe!
Haha
Yeeet
EDIT: It feels like some people aren't getting the joke, to clarify all of these words mean roughly the same thing but are a few years apart from each other.

I rather get old and keep my dignity. Thanks. :)

Except they didn't make it up, like most previous generations, genz has stolen from black American vernacular.
- That's how slang develops. It starts in ingroup vernacular and propagates out either fizzling out or sticking around as an actual word. AAVE is one of several sources. LGBTQ, sports, and video game lingo tend to be other popular sources.
  
  Ya, it comes from all over. Culture is a shared experience that brings people together and should not be treated as antagonistic, regardless of origin.
  
  Yup, "Y'all" is the example I'd raise for folks who say it's all AAVE, Y'all pretty firmly comes into American vernacular out of its use among rural farming communities, not necessarily usage among black culture.
  Not to mention how a significant chunk of new vernacular is going to always be coming from the diasporatic distribution pipeline bringing new languages and dialects to America constantly. Granted this is mostly how new kinds of food enter the American linguistic pallette, but you get the idea.

This was a fitting moment for Teenagers by mcr to start playing in my headphones lol

this meme got no rizz bruh fr fr Ong no cap

He moe, pops is all rizzed up that he throated the glizzy.

People stop using a word when they overuse it so much it loses the original useful meaning.
- O RLY?
  
  YA RLY
- rip

It's fine as long as you don't say "on accident".
- Who axed?

Yep. Thats pretty much it.

Twenty years ago my word was a finalist for the OED or Merriam Webster I forget which new word of the year. I probably peaked then.

https://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=Rizz

Back in my day, we went with "giving it riz".
- Yeah, rizz isn't new. It's just short for charisma. Their usage of it is new and wacky though. You don't charisma someone. You do something charismatically. It's an adjective or adverb, not a verb.
  
  Well, it's being used in English, so as long as the intended meaning comes across it can be all three and whatever else so long as it still communicates the intended message.

I have heard that part of the point is so that parents cannot understand the conversation. It is not a side effect, it is the point.
- This is one of those things that sounds like it could be true... Until you think about it at all. Think about the words you used as a child compared to how your parents talked.
  Go look at 70's and 80's slang and consider if people spoke that way because they were trying to be sneaky, or if they were just trying to sound "hip".

am ignore every opinion with the word mid
.,,.
- As soon as everybody is speaking it, the word itself is already meaningless and the context has all the information. So, yeah, ignoring it is quite efficient.
  Anyway, I suspect that when you notice those things happening, it already means that you are old.
  
  am teenager ..

Gen Z here. Guess I'm getting old.
- Bro

Can we go to the alternate timeline where “Schway” takes off.

"Rizz" isn't really a thing... right?
- I have some bad news
  
  Lil bro really took an L
  
  Yeah, he really got rizzed
- Lemme sprinkle some rizz on ya.
  It's a totally real thing. And those of us with massive amounts of it can spurt it onto others in volume, resulting in some serious trance.
  Which is funny, because with enough rizz, you can spurt some serious jizz onto others, resulting in some serious results as well.

That's like when people say Drip. I usually reply with what's dripping? I don't see any water anywhere.
- Ok, grandpa.
- The ladies dude. If you got drip that's where you are getting it from.
  
  That drip do be a hydroplane hazard for my Heelys though
