"...now what I have isn't rizz, and what's rizz seems weird and scary to me.

It will happen to you!"

Thing I actually said to my Gen Z coworker.

Remember when rizz was drip? Remember when drip was swag? Remember when swag was game? Remember when game was style?

I feel like these describe slightly different things. Drip seems more clothing oriented to me. Rizz seems more autistic women reflexively mirroring. Swag is more of a single person camping weather gear thing

[-] Moonworm@hexbear.net 9 points 9 months ago

Drip concerns fashion, originally jewelry. Potentially associated with the term "ice" meaning diamonds. Compare to the now old-fashioned "bling".

Remember when "boys have SWAG men have CLASS"?

slang is just subsequent generations using different words to describe the same thing

I’ve said this to my students a few times. Then they no shot Fanum tax me out of pocket for not having level 4 gas while letting me cook on OG Fornite map.

I too understand these things, I'm in the know!

I used to be in the know...

Mixing up slang from completely different decades and when called out on it, pull the "I'm a Chinese immigrant and English is my second language" card.

No cap, the vibes are so jive, it's giving me the blues.

Just make up your own slang while you're at it. comprehension is based on vibes anyway, were on all on the same adress

Doing this as a white girl

I've never been cool, so I don't have to worry about losing whatever "rizz" is

[-] the_itsb@hexbear.net 17 points 9 months ago

It's short for charisma, which your username proves you've got plenty of! ✨

My Gen Z coworker is an impenetrable wall of slang, meme-speak and other shit i cannot fucking understand which just reinforces the fact that im a fucking boomer already.

Mine are a jock dude who talks like a Cali surfer bro, Jewish teen who is literally a physical manifestation of a Ukraine flag emoji guy, and nerdy bi dude who's genuinely pretty smart and funny, and who I said this to.

Commercials just now, in 2024, reached the "all your base are belong to us" meme.

I never had rizz but then they changed what rizz was and now I do have rizz and what is rizz seems extremely natural to me albeit a decade too late since I have since moved past where I was 10 years ago
