[image description: Two separate screenshots. The first is a tweet from Amy A (@\lolennui) that reads: "I love "rizz" because gen z came up with the most 1920's hardboiled detective sounding slang possible for some reason". The second image is the first result for a google search of "rizz slang origin," which brings up an excerpt from a Vox article: ""Rizz," short for "charisma," comes from Black culture, as most American neologisms do. In this case, the word "rizz" was popularized by streamer Kai Cenat. (Cenat, incidentally, is old-person-famous for inciting a riot by offering free video game consoles to his followers in New York's Union Square.)" end image description]
