We say CHA in my D&D group when talking about the stat, but I’m gonna start saying rizz at the table and see how people react.
Comment on I used to be with it, then they changed what "it" is
Kedly@lemm.ee 7 months agoI mean its just a shortened form of Charisma. Cha sounds weird, and Risma sounds like the set up for a “MUH BAWLZ” Joke

“Go ahead and give me a roll on a DC15 rizz check…”

tbf, DnD groups were where I got a lot of my exposure to the newer generations words xD

I didn’t know it came from Charisma. Makes sense
Kedly@lemm.ee 7 months ago
I mean, I cant confirm directly where it originated from. But it’s used in the exact same way charisma is, and means basically the same thing
Blank@lemmy.world 7 months ago
Could just say charisma. ¯_(ツ)_/¯
Cornucopiaofplenty@lemmy.world 7 months ago
That’s not really how slang works
Kedly@lemm.ee 7 months ago
Have you really never shortened a word in your life?
bitwaba@lemmy.world 7 months ago
Sure, but what the hell happens to
charismatic
in this situation? Does that get shortened too, so now we’ve got people saying “Yo Zendaya is totally rizzmatic!”. Or does everyone just need to re-arrange all sentences that would usecharismatic
so that only the noun form gets used and we avoid ever having to use it as an adjective?Kedly@lemm.ee 7 months ago
I mean, Rizzmatic sounds awesome, I’m down to hear that variation. Language is constantly in flux. It has never stayed static
