    Basically charisma (the rizz part)

    Think of it like “cha-rizz-ma.” It’s just a slang abbreviation, using only the middle sound of “charisma.”

    Fellow old guy here, in my early 40s. I had to figure out where “rizz” came from before it really clicked for me.

      I always thought it meant harass or annoy. Which I guess it kind of could since the times I saw it used was basically harassment with no charisma.
