“Rizz,” a shortened form of “charisma,” emerged out of internet and gaming culture, according to Oxford. It was popularized in 2022 by YouTube and Twitch streamer Kai Cenat, who posted “rizz tips” videos online. It further went viral in June, after British actor Tom Holland said in a BuzzFeed interview: “I have no rizz whatsoever. I have limited rizz.”
The Gen-Z coined term beat out other contenders such as “Swifties,” “Parasocial,” “Beige Flag,” and “Situationship.”
ONTD, do you have any rizz?
