Rizz is Oxford University Press's 2023 Word of the Year

Are you adept at striking up conversations or flirting with possible partners? If so, you could be unaware that you already have Rizz. Younger people are the ones who use the Oxford word of the year, which is online slang meaning charm or romantic appeal. It was one of eight terms selected from a shortlist to represent the tone, spirit, or themes of 2023. A public vote was used to reduce the list, and Oxford lexicographers ultimately made the selection. Other competitors included situationship, Beige Flag, and Swiftie. If you are not a member of Generation Z, the word may signify nothing to you. However, it's widely utilized online; on TikTok, the hashtag "rizz" has received billions of views. The Oxford English Dictionary is published by Oxford University Press, which defines it as having style, charm, or attractiveness as well as the capacity to draw in a romantic or sexual partner. The word "charisma" is assumed to be the abbreviation for the phrase.
