As good an explanation as any. I've never heard it before, but it's weird to hear it with a positive connotation since a person being a drip is not a good thing.
It's started to be used as in "flirt" though, as a verb (or at least my young cousin has used it this way that I've heard). As in, you rizz someone -> you flirt with someone. It sounds really strange when you know it (used to) mean charisma, but whatever.
Disco Elysium is sorrrrta like that, if you squint a bit.
Not focused around being an introvert or different dialogue styles exactly, but you're a mess of a human being and conversations can literally hurt you, as it tracks your mental health as well as physical.
Heard of the name but never really checked it. Reading the wiki, my idea wouldn't achieve a 1/100 of the depth this game has to offers. Very impressive game .

I have quite a lot of ideas and whil I am an amateur programmer,such games need stellar writing to be worth it and I doubt I can pull it off. Also, while the art doesn't need to be very fancy, I can't draw for beans.
I actually rely on a very human effect to scribble as a de-stress mechanism. I paint and remove
random lines until pareidolia kicks in and I see a form in the nonsense. I then just add eyes and a mouth and some additional touches . Sometimes, I end up with some nice character concepts I wish I could use.
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.
Honestly this is just the process of language evolving. Some slang words are born and fade into obsecurity once the novelty wears off, others get used so much that they become part of the language for ages to come. Some even become formal terms given enough time.
Rizz is a shortened word for 'charisma' and specifically for skill in charming or seducing a potential romantic partner, especially through verbal communication.
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
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.
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: ![email protected]
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.
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.
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?
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!
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.
Yeah, rizz isn't new. It's just short for charisma. Their usage of it is new and wacky though. You don't charisma someone. You do something charismatically. It's an adjective or adverb, not a verb.
Well, it's being used in English, so as long as the intended meaning comes across it can be all three and whatever else so long as it still communicates the intended message.
This is what happens when your anglo-saxon, having just diverged from old Norse and Latin, begins to lose it's declensions and conjugations... It's its biggest problem, that that abominable process occurred...
This is one of those things that sounds like it could be true... Until you think about it at all. Think about the words you used as a child compared to how your parents talked.
Go look at 70's and 80's slang and consider if people spoke that way because they were trying to be sneaky, or if they were just trying to sound "hip".
As soon as everybody is speaking it, the word itself is already meaningless and the context has all the information. So, yeah, ignoring it is quite efficient.
Anyway, I suspect that when you notice those things happening, it already means that you are old.
Rizz = chaRISma
Use it the way your parents would use "game".
Ok so it's like this::
Did you win the rizz?
This meat is a little rizzy.
Don't play rizzes with me.
Yup, you got it!! 😁🤭
Zelda Breath of the Wild is a very unique videorizz
no obviously he's talking more like:
im going hunting for some rizz.
this meat has a rizzy taste.
Excellent
I saw this elsewhere, but the term rizz does imply the existence of other words to shorten all the typical rpg attributes.
Unsure what they would all be, but I'm thinking these other four seem pretty easy to agree upon:
Toosh = constitution
Tren = strength
Teri = dexterity
Telli = intelligence
Roll for nish
Thanks, I hate it
Yeah those are all abbreviated con, str, dex, and int. I wonder why charisma isn't abbreviated cha. Maybe that was too close to con?
In D&D it is abbreviated cha, it's just that rizz sounds more goated and fire.
You must be great at parties, lol.
D&d parties yes!
Ah. It's a lot more tolerable knowing that. Now what about "drip"?
Drip refers to how someone dresses. Someone who is drippy has a lot of style.
Also, this has been in circulation for a few years now.
I was more wondering why that word. Like "rizz" came from "charisma" but "drip" doesn't seem to have an origin like that.
I'm getting up there so I'm out of the loop from pretty much anything in the last decade. I only started hearing the drips this year.
As good an explanation as any. I've never heard it before, but it's weird to hear it with a positive connotation since a person being a drip is not a good thing.
I've also heard drip's origin explained as what happens when you're hot and wearing a lot of "ice"
Drip comes from making a woman wet because you look really good
Please tell me that's not true
It's started to be used as in "flirt" though, as a verb (or at least my young cousin has used it this way that I've heard). As in, you rizz someone -> you flirt with someone. It sounds really strange when you know it (used to) mean charisma, but whatever.
I think it's short for rolling charisma on them since D&D has become a pop culture source now
Especially with all the memes about horny bards and reminders that persuasion is not rolling for mind control.
It's just an abbreviation of charisma.
And for that reason I'm out
Why?
Long ago, I had had an idea of an rpg where you play as an introvert with sever anxiety. Each dialogue is a fight.
New style learned : young talk.
Effects in dialogue : cause cringe status effect to surrounding characters if they are young adults or younger, otherwise cause confusion.
Disco Elysium is sorrrrta like that, if you squint a bit.
Not focused around being an introvert or different dialogue styles exactly, but you're a mess of a human being and conversations can literally hurt you, as it tracks your mental health as well as physical.
You should try it if you haven't already.
It also does damage to you as the person sitting in front of the screen whenever you disappoint Kim!
Heard of the name but never really checked it. Reading the wiki, my idea wouldn't achieve a 1/100 of the depth this game has to offers. Very impressive game .
Pirate it if you are interested. The publisher fucked over the devs big time.
All big corpo is fucking over everyone.

If you're interested then you should definitely give it a shot. There's no combat - all your "battles" are just conversations 😅
That is a great i idea.
I have quite a lot of ideas and whil I am an amateur programmer,such games need stellar writing to be worth it and I doubt I can pull it off. Also, while the art doesn't need to be very fancy, I can't draw for beans.
You'd be drawing for humans, though. Beans rarely play video games.
I actually rely on a very human effect to scribble as a de-stress mechanism. I paint and remove random lines until pareidolia kicks in and I see a form in the nonsense. I then just add eyes and a mouth and some additional touches . Sometimes, I end up with some nice character concepts I wish I could use.
I showed your drawings to some beans. They were very impressed.
Beans do be having a good taste in art. Especially, lemmy beans. Stress based Automatic drawing is the future of modern art. /j
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.
I remember being young and referring to things da bomb. Or something cool could also be fly. People would refer to themselves as home skillet. Booyah.
Waaaaaaazaaaaaaabi
Dang, Gina
I still call things the bomb :(
Yeah, but do you call even cooler things "the bomb dot com"?
Sadly I’m just not that cool
"cool" though, "cool" never dies
Honestly this is just the process of language evolving. Some slang words are born and fade into obsecurity once the novelty wears off, others get used so much that they become part of the language for ages to come. Some even become formal terms given enough time.
It's nice to have slang for a word, but i do hate when people misuse it and then the word devolved. For example, gaslight.
Gaslighting is when you hold a match to your butthole and fart.
Rizz is a shortened word for 'charisma' and specifically for skill in charming or seducing a potential romantic partner, especially through verbal communication.
knowledge rizz
That's so rizz
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!!!!
Skibidi rizz fanum tax ohio level 10 gyat sigma no cap rip bozo L take based wat da dog doin cuh
How do you do fellow rizzers?
I don't think you can say that word.
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.

I am fucking 40 years old by the way.
Based boomer
Go touch some grass.
Now excuse me while I age like an old computer, because I can't process most of this... sentence?
Me neither
Woah dude!! Rexk a bit, man!
Only you can stop it, by being old and using it wrong. You bunch of rizzers.
Rizzer please!
I feel like you're playing a dangerous game there, and I respect it.
I rizz like you're rizzing a rizzerous rizz there, and I rizz it.
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'm so groovy I will never get old, daddy-o.
Back to the nursing home with you!
Or you become the word...
Mood
(Am I doing this right?)
Mood
(I think we're doing it this is exciting)
Fr fr no cap... ? (I think that's right...)
My teen says "yes" through her expression of mirth, disgust, and dismay.
Success!
Bet
that's pretty fly my main man
Hella.
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.

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: ![email protected]
Rizz at least makes some sense as a shortened version of charisma.
I knew it was my time to join the old group when "slaps" became popular.
Is "slaps" still popular though? I remember that from around 2010 and have not heard it recently.
I see it online all the time.
Idk, in my mind it still slaps
Slaps? I'm not even past my 20 and dunno what's that.
It's used to imply something is good, ie. "that slaps!"
That shit straight up fire yo, frfr ong 🗿💀
Has anyone ever found a slang term coined in the last decade that they unironically enjoy using?
Yeet
Yoink
This word is 3 decades old.
Send it
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.
Yes! It always makes me smile to hear it used. I think it sounds weird coming out of my own mouth, but it perfectly accentuates a funny story.
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.
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.
Oh, thank you! You're so smart!
No, just old.
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!
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?
It's short for charisma and you use it if you have none.
Okay but what is minging
This Calypso. It's minging!
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.
I rather get old and keep my dignity. Thanks. :)
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.

this meme got no rizz bruh fr fr Ong no cap
This was a fitting moment for Teenagers by mcr to start playing in my headphones lol
People stop using a word when they overuse it so much it loses the original useful meaning.
O RLY?
YA RLY
NO WAI!
rip
He moe, pops is all rizzed up that he throated the glizzy.
It's fine as long as you don't say "on accident".
Who axed?
Yep. Thats pretty much it.
https://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=Rizz
Back in my day, we went with "giving it riz".
Yeah, rizz isn't new. It's just short for charisma. Their usage of it is new and wacky though. You don't charisma someone. You do something charismatically. It's an adjective or adverb, not a verb.
Well, it's being used in English, so as long as the intended meaning comes across it can be all three and whatever else so long as it still communicates the intended message.

Twenty years ago my word was a finalist for the OED or Merriam Webster I forget which new word of the year. I probably peaked then.
I have heard that part of the point is so that parents cannot understand the conversation. It is not a side effect, it is the point.
This is one of those things that sounds like it could be true... Until you think about it at all. Think about the words you used as a child compared to how your parents talked.
Go look at 70's and 80's slang and consider if people spoke that way because they were trying to be sneaky, or if they were just trying to sound "hip".

Can we go to the alternate timeline where “Schway” takes off.
Gen Z here. Guess I'm getting old.
Bro
"Rizz" isn't really a thing... right?
I have some bad news
Lil bro really took an L
Yeah, he really got rizzed
Lemme sprinkle some rizz on ya.
It's a totally real thing. And those of us with massive amounts of it can spurt it onto others in volume, resulting in some serious trance.
Which is funny, because with enough rizz, you can spurt some serious jizz onto others, resulting in some serious results as well.
That's like when people say Drip. I usually reply with what's dripping? I don't see any water anywhere.
Ok, grandpa.
The ladies dude. If you got drip that's where you are getting it from.
That drip do be a hydroplane hazard for my Heelys though
