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’m so groovy I will never get old, daddy-o.
Rizz is a shortened word for ‘charisma’ and specifically for skill in charming or seducing a potential romantic partner, especially through verbal communication.

It’s just an abbreviation of charisma.
Woah.

thanks, youngblood.
Rizz = chaRISma
Use it the way your parents would use “game”.
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.
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.
Drip appears to be a metaphor: You’re dripping with money, designer clothes, or confidence.
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 short for charisma and you use it if you have none.
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.
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.
Haha
Swish
Haha
Kobe!
Haha
Yeeet
EDIT: It feels like some people aren’t getting the joke, to clarify all of these words mean roughly the same thing but are a few years apart from each other.

Bro
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 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!!!
I was kinda worried for a while that since kids these days don’t really have music as a tool to rebel against their parents, and as for shocking via clothing or something like goth or satanism… they’re just recycling 80s and 90s all over again. So how are they gonna do it?
Not so worried anymore. They always find something. And not just from language. The ways to be fucking idiots are endless and as a really novel thing, kids these days go up to 30 year olds.
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.
I’m here every day. We’re ready for you when you’re ready… https://lemm.ee/c/[email protected]?dataType=Post&page=1&sort=New
