Rizz = chaRISma

Use it the way your parents would use "game".

[–] EvilHankVenture@lemmy.world 63 points 11 months ago (4 children)

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.

[–] Kase@lemmy.world 13 points 11 months ago

Yup, you got it!! 😁🤭

[–] Annoyed_Crabby@monyet.cc 10 points 11 months ago

Zelda Breath of the Wild is a very unique videorizz

[–] sock@lemmy.world 6 points 11 months ago

no obviously he's talking more like:

im going hunting for some rizz.

this meat has a rizzy taste.

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

Thanks, I hate it

[–] JohnDClay@sh.itjust.works 6 points 11 months ago (2 children)

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?

[–] Klaymore@sh.itjust.works 11 points 11 months ago

In D&D it is abbreviated cha, it's just that rizz sounds more goated and fire.

You must be great at parties, lol.

[–] JohnDClay@sh.itjust.works 11 points 11 months ago

D&d parties yes!

Ah. It's a lot more tolerable knowing that. Now what about "drip"?

[–] SasquatchBanana@lemmy.world 17 points 11 months ago (1 children)

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.

[–] AgentGrimstone@lemmy.world 6 points 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago) (2 children)

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.

[–] samus12345@lemmy.world 13 points 11 months ago (1 children)

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.

[–] dditty@lemm.ee 7 points 11 months ago

I've also heard drip's origin explained as what happens when you're hot and wearing a lot of "ice"

[–] RatzChatsubo@lemm.ee 2 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Drip comes from making a woman wet because you look really good

[–] irmoz@reddthat.com 2 points 11 months ago

Please tell me that's not true

[–] Cethin@lemmy.zip 7 points 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago) (1 children)

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.

[–] PhlubbaDubba@lemm.ee 6 points 11 months ago

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.
