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

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.

Now excuse me while I age like an old computer, because I can’t process most of this… sentence?
Woah dude!! Rexk a bit, man!
How do you do fellow rizzers?
Or you become the word…

Hella.

(Am I doing this right?)
Has anyone ever found a slang term coined in the last decade that they unironically enjoy using?
Yeet
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.
Send it
Yoink
This word is 3 decades old.
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.
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!
Yeah, that’s what every generation says.
And most of them are right, it’s why slang dies so quickly. Gen Z/Alpha are just particularly inept at it, probably from having their brains fried by social media.
Isn’t that what we’re both doing right now, getting our brains fried by social media?
Ya it’s lit af tbh.
I don’t know about you, but I’m partaking in digital discussion. Surely you can easily notice the difference between what’s happening here and, say, a tiktok, right?
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.
It’s short for charisma and you use it if you have none.
Okay but what is minging
The British weather.
This Calypso. It’s minging!
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.
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.
Rizz is a shortened word for ‘charisma’ and specifically for skill in charming or seducing a potential romantic partner, especially through verbal communication.

this meme got no rizz bruh fr fr Ong no cap
I was kinda worried for a while that since kids these days don’t really have music as a tool to rebel against their parents, and as for shocking via clothing or something like goth or satanism… they’re just recycling 80s and 90s all over again. So how are they gonna do it?
Not so worried anymore. They always find something. And not just from language. The ways to be fucking idiots are endless and as a really novel thing, kids these days go up to 30 year olds.
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.
I’m here every day. We’re ready for you when you’re ready… https://lemm.ee/c/stopdrinking@lemmy.world?dataType=Post&page=1&sort=New

Hi there! Looks like you linked to a Lemmy community using a URL instead of its name, which doesn’t work well for people on different instances. Try fixing it like this: !stopdrinking@lemmy.world
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.
This was a fitting moment for Teenagers by mcr to start playing in my headphones lol
I’m so groovy I will never get old, daddy-o.
