{{DYK talk|1 January|2024|entry=... that after popularizing the term '''''[[Rizz (slang)|rizz]]''''', [[Kai Cenat]] stopped using the term himself, saying that [[TikTok]] had butchered the word?|nompage=Template:Did you know nominations/Rizz (slang)}}

== Generation Z or Generation Alpha? ==

Is this word used more by generation alpha? They’re the only generation I’ve personally heard using it. [[User:ERBuermann|ERBuermann]] ([[User talk:ERBuermann|talk]]) 23:08, 23 December 2023 (UTC)

:yeah its mainly gen alpha--but my mum--an XEnnial--is able to speak fluent gen alpha [[Special:Contributions/206.57.152.111|206.57.152.111]] ([[User talk:206.57.152.111|talk]]) 15:08, 6 November 2024 (UTC)

== Wikipedia is now a dictionary? ==

This is kind of coming out of a dictionary :) [[User:Lellyhatesanimals|Lellyhatesanimals]] ([[User talk:Lellyhatesanimals|talk]]) 07:24, 24 December 2023 (UTC)

:[[Wikipedia:Wikipedia is not a dictionary]], but sometimes individual words have interesting stories surrounding them (covered by [[WP:WORDISSUBJECT]] in the dictionary essay). This is one of those cases where there's additional social context around the word that a dictionary wouldn't adequately capture. This is a fine article.

== Sources for 'Rizz' and 'Charisma' being related? ==

The page doesn't have a reference for 'rizz' having been used before Kai Cenat coined or popularised the word nor, and probably more importantly, does it have a reference for 'rizz' being derived from the word 'charisma'.

::They are both right; however, I heard it in 2019; so Mr Cenat did not popularise the term. Not in 2021 anyway. [[Special:Contributions/206.57.152.111|206.57.152.111]] ([[User talk:206.57.152.111|talk]]) 15:14, 6 November 2024 (UTC)

== can someone find sources for "rizz god" and "rizzard of oz" ==

these 2 terms are variations of the term rizz. the 2 obviously mean that the subject is good at "rizzing up" someone. rizzard of oz is obviously a reference to the [[wizard of oz]]. [[User:AaronNinetyTwo|AaronNinetyTwo]] ([[User talk:AaronNinetyTwo|talk]]) 15:09, 4 January 2024 (UTC)

:@[[User:AaronNinetyTwo|AaronNinetyTwo]]: at a quick search, [https://www.businessinsider.com/internet-slang-tiktok-word-rizz-rizzler-rizzgod-zoomers-rizzardofoz-twitter-2023-1 this Business Insider article] mentions both briefly (but annoyingly doesn't explicitly make the connection to 'wizard of oz'). RS/P [[WP:RS/P#Insider_culture|lists]] culture articles by Insider as generally reliable, so that might be acceptable (though I'm intentionally being quite vague here though as I haven't spent much time looking at this).

== The Meaning of "Rizz"  ==

"Rizz" was originally a shortened version of the word charisma. The word "Rizz" was originally used to complement others charisma. However, it has now become a new slang word meaning STD (sexually transmitted disease). Teenagers and young adults are now using this word to discretely communicate whether they themselves or others have a sexually transmitted disease.
