Thanks to Spider-Man, ‘Rizz’ has become Oxford’s Word of the Year for 2023. Now, as far away as you may be from ever complimenting someone for their ‘rizz’, know that’s not the popular perspective. This Internet slang is often used as a substitute for a person’s charm, style, charisma, or their ability to attract another person. You know, if you’re able to mesmerise someone way out of your league, you got that rizz.

Towards the end of every year, the team at Oxford University Press announces a word among a vocabulary of the most loved public expressions for the year. This time, the list included the likes of ‘Swiftie’, ‘situationship’, ‘parasocial’, ‘beige flag’, ‘de-influencing’, and more, but ‘Rizz’ beat them out and claimed the honourary title.

But truth be told, rizzing may have received its due credit now, but it was been lurking around since evermore. I mean, these 25 Indians were out there rizzing way before it was even a thing.

You get it, rizzing has always been around! It’s not new.
TBH, ‘Swiftie’ personally summed up the year for me.
