What does "rizz" mean?
The term “rizz” is short for “charisma,” referring to someone’s ability to attract or charm others, particularly in romantic or social situations. It became popular among teens, especially on platforms like TikTok.
Rizz isn’t just about looking good, although that helps, nor is it just about being cool, though that also plays a part. It’s more about having that special something, a kind of charm or flair in the way someone interacts. Think of it as having a good game in the world of flirting and making connections.
The term “rizz” actually started as an inside joke among friends by Kai Cenat, a creator on platforms like Twitch and YouTube. It caught on and spread across social media, where many now consider it a part of African American Vernacular English (AAVE).
