    the song one is common, but it also used to mean a hoe and means that again, ppl on tiktok comments were acting like that was recent but I remember it being used in that context as a kid

    Nothing is new under the sun.

    I heard that once in a bible class and it's stuck with me ever since. And imo it beautifully encapsulates humanity's trends and fads.

    Language is an ever-evolving thing, but at the same time, how many variations of something can be made before we've made all of them? Humanity has been around for thousands of years; I find it hard to believe that just about any word we could come up with is actually brand new and no other human has heard it before.

    Where do you think tiktok slang comes from? It's just popular slang someone uses in a comment that middleschool kids who are from different areas, that have never heard it before parrot, because they literally just copy popular comments bar for bar hoping to get likes

    rizz comes from African Americans Vernacular English and has been around for decades…. white kids on tiktok recently learned it…

    I've been around for decades too, even living in California, and the first time I've heard the word is recently with the new generation of tiktok people.

    well slang is very regional, as well as specific to different subcultures… like gamers have tons of slang/jargon…
    seems like kids like to appropriate slang from elsewhere (often black slang, probably from music), then they assume they invented it and gatekeep it, then it progresses to boring or becomes part of the language like “cool”….
    but whatever, i’m down with it… it’s totally tubular!
