“Rizz” crowned Oxford Word of the Year

Gen Z has taken over, and “rizz” is another sign of their impending cultural dominance. The Oxford Dictionary has crowned rizz the word of the year, beating out words like “Swiftie”, “situationship”, and “prompt”.

Rizz, for those that don’t know, is a term used “to describe someone’s ability to attract or seduce another person.”

Rizz is believed to come from the middle of the word charisma, and can be used as a verb, as in to “rizz up,” or chat someone up, the publisher said.
