Rizz = chaRISma

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.

[–] [email protected] 13 points 2 years ago

Yup, you got it!! 😁🤭

[–] [email protected] 10 points 2 years ago

Zelda Breath of the Wild is a very unique videorizz

[–] [email protected] 6 points 2 years 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

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 11 points 2 years 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 11 points 2 years ago

D&d parties yes!

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

[–] [email protected] 17 points 2 years 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.

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.

[–] [email protected] 13 points 2 years 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.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 2 years ago

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

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago (1 children)

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

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago

Please tell me that's not true

[–] [email protected] 7 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years 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.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 2 years 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.
