π‘ Fun Fact: Rizz had one of the fastest trajectories from niche internet slang to dictionary entry in recent memoryβOxford University Press named it their 2023 Word of the Year, beating out "situationship" and "de-influencing." The verb form ("to rizz someone up") followed quickly, and celebrities began using it in interviews, completing slang's usual pipeline from subculture to mainstream in under two years.
