    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!
