Etymology
1. Coined by YouTuber and Twitch streamer Kai Cenat (or one of his close friends) around May 2021 and popularized on TikTok in 2022. Rizz further increased in prominence throughout 2023 and was chosen as the 2023 Word of the Year by Oxford University Press. Contrary to popular belief, Cenat has confirmed that the term is not short for charisma, though it has likely influenced the pronunciation.
2. Possible earlier use
3. In 1999, in the fourth episode, "Cassandra", of the eighth season of the British sitcom Red Dwarf, the character Arnold Rimmer uses the phrase "giving it rizz" referring to the act of engaging in sexual intercourse. While the usage in the episode implies a similar meaning to its modern colloquial meaning, it did not appear to have popularised the term.
4. This line is referenced on the official Red Dwarf website https://reddwarf.co.uk/features/analysis/remembering-rimmer/, and the episode is available in the UK on BBC iPlayer. https://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episode/p00bpm2n/red-dwarf-viii-4-cassandra
