It's just an abbreviation of charisma.

Long ago, I had had an idea of an rpg where you play as an introvert with sever anxiety. Each dialogue is a fight.

New style learned : young talk.

Effects in dialogue : cause cringe status effect to surrounding characters if they are young adults or younger, otherwise cause confusion.

[–] AcidOctopus@lemmy.ml 18 points 10 months ago (2 children)

Disco Elysium is sorrrrta like that, if you squint a bit.

Not focused around being an introvert or different dialogue styles exactly, but you're a mess of a human being and conversations can literally hurt you, as it tracks your mental health as well as physical.

You should try it if you haven't already.

It also does damage to you as the person sitting in front of the screen whenever you disappoint Kim!

Heard of the name but never really checked it. Reading the wiki, my idea wouldn't achieve a 1/100 of the depth this game has to offers. Very impressive game .

Every generation does this. The boomers had their fair share of dumb slang terms as well but for some reason everyone loves to hate the next generation for doing the exact same thing.

[–] HipHoboHarold@lemmy.world 21 points 10 months ago (5 children)

I remember being young and referring to things da bomb. Or something cool could also be fly. People would refer to themselves as home skillet. Booyah.

"cool" though, "cool" never dies

[–] HiddenLayer5@lemmy.ml 15 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago) (2 children)

Honestly this is just the process of language evolving. Some slang words are born and fade into obsecurity once the novelty wears off, others get used so much that they become part of the language for ages to come. Some even become formal terms given enough time.

Rizz is a shortened word for 'charisma' and specifically for skill in charming or seducing a potential romantic partner, especially through verbal communication.

I used to be with "it," then they went and changed what was "it." Now what used to be "it" is lame, and what is "it" is new and scary. And it will happen to you too!!!!

[–] Blackmist@feddit.uk 26 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Only you can stop it, by being old and using it wrong. You bunch of rizzers.

Floating toilet heads flirt as a method of stealing your food, which only happens in Ohio as thats where a lot of cryptids are supposed to come from, and also have voluptuous posteriors, an ultra-capitalist competitive outlook, and I am so confident this is the truth I will mock your relative performance to mine as inadequate and, finally, a dog joins in as a non sequitur because humans are doing it and using synecdoche I am implying you are also just a sheep.

Rizz was the final straw for me. I no longer have any interest in attempting to understand today's youth.

They just need to shut up and get off my lawn.

[–] chiliedogg@lemmy.world 12 points 10 months ago

The first time I yelled at young people to get off the grass was oddly freeing.

I now fully embrace the grump.

I knew it was my time to join the old group when "slaps" became popular.

[–] Okkai@lemm.ee 11 points 10 months ago (2 children)

Is "slaps" still popular though? I remember that from around 2010 and have not heard it recently.

[–] Da_Boom@iusearchlinux.fyi 10 points 10 months ago

Idk, in my mind it still slaps

[–] Anticorp@lemmy.ml 10 points 10 months ago

I see it online all the time.

I was kinda worried for a while that since kids these days don't really have music as a tool to rebel against their parents, and as for shocking via clothing or something like goth or satanism... they're just recycling 80s and 90s all over again. So how are they gonna do it?

Not so worried anymore. They always find something. And not just from language. The ways to be fucking idiots are endless and as a really novel thing, kids these days go up to 30 year olds.

Has anyone ever found a slang term coined in the last decade that they unironically enjoy using?

It's short for charisma and you use it if you have none.

I used to be with ‘it’, but then they changed what ‘it’ was. Now what I’m with isn’t ‘it’ anymore and what’s ‘it’ seems weird and scary. It’ll happen to you!

Yeeet

EDIT: It feels like some people aren't getting the joke, to clarify all of these words mean roughly the same thing but are a few years apart from each other.
