You have encountered a new word on social media, welcome to the club.
Unfortunately, after looking it up in the dictionary all you got was an warning pop-up.
(Get with the times, Oxford!)
No need to worry.
We have walked you throughTiktok’s “periodt"and we will not leave you now.
In fact, social media is one reason it seems there are more slang words every day.
Who knows what new words will appear tomorrow and from where.
But before we’re distracted by possibilities, what is rizz?
How do you use it in a sentence?
And maybe the most important question, do you have it?
Gen Z’s take on having ‘game’
Kai Cenat is the creator of the term rizz.
He is one of the most viewed streamers on Twitch’s live video game platform.
In theinterview, Cenat describes a scenario where a man is flirting with a woman to no avail.
That is, until he turns his rizz on.
Let me talk to him.'”
It is a charm where even if you miss the first shot, you still score.
The term rizz can be likened to the phrase “having game.”
However, TikTok’s trending “unspoken rizz” is different from Cenat’s original definition.
TikTok’s unspoken rizz
On the social media platform, unspoken rizz is all about attraction.
So much so that you don’t have to say a word, and the dates just keep coming.
Without flexing your charm and sweet words, you’re not reflecting any rizz.
You might just be part of the less than one percent who have a symmetrical face.
Maybe it wasPete Davidson’s unspoken rizzthat had him dating every Hollywood it-girl.
Or Lori Harvey’s rizz that scored the heartthrob Michael B. Jordan.
Or maybe a lack of rizz is why some of us are single.
Whether your best attributes are unspoken or need to be voiced, a little cha-rizz-ma (get it?
goes a long way.
