With the development of times and trends, even languages ​​will continue to have new words appearing, witnessing the different cultures and habits of human beings.

Every year, Oxford University Press in the UK selects a representative word of the year and adds it to the “Oxford English Dictionary”. This year’s representative word is “rizz”. Thanks to Tom Holland, this word has soared in popularity on the Internet.

Can be used as noun verb
Meaning “charming qualities”

“Rizz” actually evolved from the word “Charisma”, which means “style, charm, charming qualities”, and is especially used to describe “the ability to attract a significant other or sexual partner.”

In addition to being a noun, “rizz” can also be used as a verb. The phrase “rizz up” means “to attract or seduce someone.”

Originally appeared last year
Promoted by Tom Holland

According to comprehensive foreign media reports, the word “rizz” first appeared last year and was used by a foreign YouTuber Kai Cenat; later, Tom Holland also used the word during an interview.

He said “I have no rizz whatsoever, I have limited rizz” to express his inability to attract girls. As a result, this word became very popular on the Internet, and many netizens followed suit.

Other selected words
Even “Swiftie” got in on the act

There are other words competing for the “Word of the Year” this year, including “Beige Flag”: describing the character of the other half who is boring or lacking in personality; “Swiftie”: Taylor Swift’s fan; “Situationship”: not a formal relationship relation.
