How is rizz not new? I’ve never seen it until tiktok.
Comment on "Rizz", "cooking" and "based" are going to be stereotypical old people words one day

they already are in black communities, teens see tiktok comments and go wow new slang, a lot of this shit isnt new tho, like bop wasnt new but everyone acted like it was a new tiktok word, neither was thot on twitter or many others, rizz isnt new, its been around, cooking and based? not new at all

Where do you think tiktok slang comes from? It’s just popular slang someone uses in a comment that middleschool kids who are from different areas, that have never heard it before parrot, because they literally just copy popular comments bar for bar hoping to get likes

What year did you first start hearing the word rizz?

rizz comes from African Americans Vernacular English and has been around for decades…. white kids on tiktok recently learned it…

Nothing is new under the sun.
I heard that once in a bible class and it’s stuck with me ever since. And imo it beautifully encapsulates humanity’s trends and fads.
Language is an ever-evolving thing, but at the same time, how many variations of something can be made before we’ve made all of them? Humanity has been around for thousands of years; I find it hard to believe that just about any word we could come up with is actually brand new and no other human has heard it before.

What is “bop”? Are bop-its popular on TikTok?

the song one is common, but it also used to mean a hoe and means that again, ppl on tiktok comments were acting like that was recent but I remember it being used in that context as a kid

Absolutely! I’m old, but somehow I am still semi-“hip”
