In captions, you’ll find Rizz many times in the form of a question or like “W Rizz?” or  “Rizz game is through the roof” to summerize the outcome of a romantic pursuit gone wrong.

Rizz is best compared to saying that “someone has a game,” meaning they are verbally talented or physically attractive enough to smoothly influence favorable responses from people they randomly approach.

The Origin of Rizz 

Creators of the popular term are Kai Cenat and Duke Dennis, two Twitch streamers that found fame and success from playing the video game 2k and collaborating on livestreams together. 

According to Kai Cenat “TikTok absolutely killed the definition of Rizz; it isn’t what it means today. Rizz is a term only me and my friends from back home use.” 

Kai elaborates by saying,  “The real meaning of Rizz is when you Rizz someone up. You Rizz your way out of the situation when things aren’t going your way.”

However, aside from its original meaning described by Kai, Rizz is explained in the URban dictionary to be an abbreviation of “Charisma”
