Having Good Rizz Is Like Having A Black Belt In Flirting, And These 14 People Totally Nailed It

Let's talk about rizz.

Rizz is the new slang word — fine, maybe not brand new — the cool kids are using nowadays to describe flirting, and as someone in their mid-20s, I can attest that, yes, my Gen Z sisters had to define it for me in detail because I had no clue WTF was going on.

If we wanna get technical, rizz is supposedly short for "charisma," but it's really just synonymous with having good game or good flirting skills.

Charming someone or flirting with them is called "rizzing them up," and if your rizz game is particularly masterful, you could even give yourself the title of "Walt Rizzney," "The Grinch Who Stole Rizzmas," or my personal favorite, "The Rizzler."

Recently, people have been showing off their ultimate, bulletproof rizz, and it honestly shows just how funny, a little cringe, and totally endearing flirting and using pick-up lines should be.

1.Let's start off with a classic. I'm not saying I would go out with someone who used this on me, but I'm not saying I wouldn't either.

2.This person could write Shakespeare, but Shakespeare couldn't write this.

Just remember this ancient proverb: With great rizz comes great rizzponsibility.
