Rizz

charisma, esp. the skill of flirting / charming someone successfully

Origin

A shortening of English 'charisma', which around Baltimore (USA) is pronounced like 'rizzma' and was then clipped to 'Rizz'. It was popularized by the American live-streamer Kai Cenat, who regularly used the word in his video thumbnails; via TikTok it quickly spread worldwide. 'Rizz' means charisma and above all the ability to flirt successfully with wit and charm (often distinguished as 'W rizz' and 'L rizz'); in 2023 the word made the top 10 of the Youth Words of the Year.
