What does “L rizz” mean?

“L rizz” is a total lack of romantic charisma. If someone has “L rizz,” it means that they’re not super great at attracting other people, or at flirting. In fact, they may even repel others. It’s a spin on the popular slang term “rizz” which is essentially the ability to “make it happen,” romantically speaking. It’s paired with the slang term “L,” which is short for “loss.” Here, “L” is used as a sort of negative modifier of rizz, to express a total lack of it. Examples: “We have to work on your game, dude. You have L rizz.” “He desperately needs a wingman with all that L rizz he’s got.” “Maybe you can’t get a guy because of your L rizz.”

What is “Rizz”

Rizz is the ability to successfully flirt with or attract someone. Rizz is short for “charisma.” Someone who can roll into a bar or club and get a stranger’s number no problem is said to “have rizz.” They’re attractive, charming, and suave. It’s also sometimes used as a verb, as in “to rizz someone up,” which means to really turn on the charm when talking to someone. The term is commonplace on apps like Twitter/X and TikTok, where it’s endlessly remixed and used in memes. Examples: “She just walked out of here with my boyfriend, so you could say she’s got rizz.” “Watch me rizz this guy up. He’ll be totally in love by the end of the night.”

Rizz was popularized by Twitch streamer Kai Cenat in 2021. The term started as New York City slang, but entered the mainstream when Kai Cenat, a user on the popular livestreaming platform Twitch, began streaming e-dates along with fellow streamer Silky. During their streams, they introduced viewers to the concept of rizz, and assessed their dating success based on how much “rizz” they displayed. Viewers adopted the term and took it to social media, and the rest is history. Cenat himself has lamented how popular culture has in many ways warped or abused the word with various new meanings. Language is funny like that.

Other Variants of “Rizz”

You’ve got negative rizz.”

Unspoken rizz Someone with unspoken rizz doesn’t even have to say anything in order to attract another person. Their charm and silent allure does all the talking for them. Notably, some say this doesn’t count as rizz, since rizz’s original meaning specifically referred to someone’s ability to chat someone up. “Unspoken rizz” also refers to a meme where social media users joke about what counts as “unspoken rizz” versus what might be considered sexual harassment. Example: “It’s not fair how Mike’s got all that unspoken rizz. He doesn’t even have to open his mouth and guys are all over him.”
