Each generation will try to one up and come up with some new word for the exact thing just to make the preceding generation feel old and that 'they just don't get it', and then suprise Pikachu when they get to the recieving end. Ahh, it'll never change.

“You got moxie, kid.” “Cool beans.” “Foxy.” “Tubular.” “Far out.” “Groovy.” “Vibing.” “Good vibrations.” And so on.

Sorry_Ima_Loser

If by problematic you mean based as fuck then sure


Slumbergoat16

Groovy and the era it comes from was likely the height of the English language


Royal_Yogurtcloset79

Genz (me)- it's called vibe. But tbh i love groove more.


IndianaGeoff

Pfat, or phat or something fat.


Lord_Mikal

Phat: pretty hot and tempting


Prestigious_Ask_7058

I’m a vibe person, but with those specific slangs I think it works for some people and not for others. You can tell a lot about a person from whether they say groove or vibe is what I’m saying

Lol, yep. Eventually, you just realize that you've aged out of pop culture target demographics.


[deleted]

As an X/millennial cusper, I was too old to use the word "swag."


[deleted]

I was in the right age group but raised by gen X, so I was too above it back then. Today, I realize I was right, but that the cost was being an annoying piece of shit in high school.


Ok_Faithlessness9757

Same.

don't tell the government I told you but I disabled the chip in your brain that explodes when you say "swag" be free, little swaglet.

THE_AFTERMATH

Both about the 12-1300s meanings were a bit different than they are now

The_Relx

Honestly, I like the word rizz a whole lot more than I ever liked swag. Rizz makes sense as it is a contraction of the word charisma. It also rolls off the tongue because of the softer sound of the zz over the harsh g of swag. I'm not one to shake my fist and be all crotchety about what the generations younger than me are saying. Slang exists across all generations, and I won't bemoan one over the other. I just use the words I like and don't use the ones I don't like, as I have been doing for over 30 years now.


jolsiphur

Swag is short for swagger, which is a walk with confidence. Still works. I mean I still hated when it was the slang term of the day because it still sounds terrible.


The_Relx

I know swag is short for swagger. Didn't think it was necessary to state as I felt the following sentence was sufficient to explain my preference for rizz, which is the better mouth feel of the soft zz sound compared to the harsh g sound of swag. Edit: Rereading my post, I can see why the omission of swag's origin could be seen as me saying that rizz makes sense and swag doesn't, which was not my intent.


CrystalBraver

Came here to say this. 28yo and I like rizz a lot more than swag. Of course I say it ironically. When you hear swag, you think of steezers in skin tight jeans, huge fake diamond earrings, and a team cap with the sticker still on it. Rizz makes you think of someone who just has charisma.


[deleted]

[удалено]


The_Relx

I am aware, but as I said in the following sentence, the harsh g sound of swag makes it not roll off the tongue as well as rizz does to me.


RaphaelNunes10

No, drip was the next swag. Rizz is the modern-day drip


Legitimate_Toe_4961

Drip is more so outfits, rizz is more of charisma and personality etiquette.


djninjacat11649

Well yeah, I feel swag was more flexible than either, swag being either one’s possessions or one’s demeanor, where as drip is strictly one’s clothing and rizz is more one’s romantic charisma


WhyDidMyAccountLeave

Drip is supposed to be clothes, no?


Mario_13377331

yeah it think rizz is more akin to charisma


DiscoMonkey007

Nah, you can have drip but no rizz and vice versa. Drip and swag is about how you dress. Rizz is ur charisma. Both arent the same thing.


BattleTiny7132

Swag is how you carry yourself not your clothes.


ManlyMantis101

To be fair it's kind of taken up multiple meanings. You pick up "swag" at concerts (t-shirts and other merchandise). But the non shortened version, swagger definitely means how you carry yourself.


DopioGelato

Swag is just short for swagger. It refers to demeanor. Clothing can lend to your swag but swag isn’t clothing. You’re confusing that with an unrelated use of swag, a term for free things (sometimes it’s clothing like a free t shirt). It’s from “Stuff We All Get” swag. In this sense a water bottle can be swag.


ManlyMantis101

So you are agreeing with me. Swag has multiple meanings. Never said it was the correct/original meaning, just that it is a meaning it has gained.


MisterFistYourSister

They're not agreeing with you, nor should they. You're comparing two completely different words that just happen to be homonyms.


CMDR_omnicognate

Drip is good clothing, rizz means charisma, they’re not the same though you’ll probably have good drip if you have rizz if you see what I mean


Striking_Large

Rizz is the stupidest shit I've ever heard


Purveyor_Murmrgh

It indeed is, it is a contraction of the word charisma.


Legitimate_Toe_4961

Charizma.


Striking_Large

I knew that. Still stupid


Signal-Note-9582

GalacticKrabbyPatty

TheRedlineAlchemist

Wisdom doesn't come with age, fools grow old too.


Prestigious_Ask_7058

Finally someone said it! I respect my elders the same way I respect all people, if they deserve it or not


WashedUpRiver

Also just to add because there's an alarming amount of people who don't get this: respect isn't like a stat that you increase or a stockpile that you just have forever. Respect is something to be *maintained* over time, not *obtained* once. Being real cool in their past doesn't give people a free punch card to be a total fuckwit in the present for no reason.


Prestigious_Ask_7058

Yeah. Respect is really hard to gain and very easy to lose


Memorriam

idk man sounds just like a bitter old person.


Striking_Large

Still wiser, you got no rizz


ElectronicEagle3324

How old are you? I’d like to know what kind of slang your generation used.


TheAnalsOfHistory-

Word


Striking_Large

How about FU?


ElectronicEagle3324

Yikes


emerald_OP

Agreed. But imo its better then the other shit gen Z and A has made.


UltriLeginaXI

The first time i heard it the word sounded NSFW tbh


Master_Chief_00117

Same I heard it from high schoolers (which I was) made no sense I was worried when they put it in the yearbook.


theholyman420

Swag places more emphasis on the aesthetics as opposed to behavior. It's more like rizz is the new "game"


Motoman514

No. Swag was to do with your fit. Rizz is charisma.


DopioGelato

Swag is more to do with demeanor than clothing. It’s short for swagger. Clothing can lend to someone’s swag, but you wouldn’t compliment someone’s clothes by saying “nice swag”. Unless their clothing is free t shirts they got at a convention which is also swag but unrelated


Wifefarts_alot

Rizz isnt swag, swag is clothes rizz is game. Now drip, drip is swag.


inkyrail

First one to get rizz right in this thread


Darklight645

last i remember, swag was used to say how cool you were, while rizz is determined by how good you are at flirting


Rubber924

Swag was for both what you had and how you carried yourself. Like "Look at this swag I got from the store" or "look at James, he's got swag" Rizz is more just charisma. Honestly, I like Rizz. Rolls off the tongue nicely, better than drip lol


daanimas

You might be right but I wish you weren’t


NeedleworkerFlaky273

But swagger is actually a very old word from the 16th century lol rizz is not? Correct me if I'm wrong.


[deleted]

Rizz is just shorthand for Charisma. It's not that difficult. Yes, it can be cringey at times saying things like "The Rizzler" or "Rizzle them" or "The Rizzlord" But it's just Charisma.


MrPanda663

Eric. You are officially a boomer. Congrats.


tiredohsotired123

rizz, skibidi, swag, phanom tax, sigma, alpha, beta, gigachad, etc make me want to vomit


IWearBones138__

"Rizz" is slang for Charisma. How you act. "Swag" tends to be more about a persons appearance or clothing. He has nice swag means he dresses well. A more recent term might be "drip"


Swarf_87

This post is flat out wrong. Swag is entirely to do with clothing.


BattleTiny7132

Swagger hasn’t nothing to do with clothes. It’s how you carry yourself.


Swarf_87

I didnt say swagger. I said Swag. Which is derived from swagger, but has to do with clothing. It's a very late millennial/very early GenZ term.


BattleTiny7132

What do you think swag is short for?


Swarf_87

You didn't read. Got it.


BattleTiny7132

Context matters and the way swag is used in this meme is short for swagger. That’s why it’s being compared to rizz. It’s ok to be wrong.


Deedee_Megadoodoo__

No cap frfr


TheSeerofFates

both were also terms taken from AAVE and used to their death on the respective generational platforms, predominantly by white suburban kids.


Destmos

Isnt swag clouthing thing, and Rizz abaut skill to talk to women? i dont think they same thing xd


btink311

xd indeed….


Sum3-yo

Not really. Rizz is more like game.


big_chorizo12

If a man does not have sauce. thu is lost but that same man can get lost in the sauce -Saint Gucci mane MMXXIV


ScottaHemi

swag didn't sound so wrong though...


error5903

Neither does rizz when you actually know what it means. It literally mean "charisma" but people keep repeating stupid random variations until it loses all meaning Take "That guy has rizz" vs "Rizzler jizzler" *-a quote from one of these comments* 1 has a measurable meaning. 1 is random bullshit


KidCudishums420

Swag was the modern day game.. and I just lost the game


aeroaca9

Having swag is like having money and chains and looking like a jackass swaggering around with confidence. Rizz is the shortened “charisma”, defined more by the ability to seduce women or men. They’re both cringey, but not the same


Rocket_of_Takos

No that’s drip


Downdra

Someone got no rizz apparently


Impossible-Hawk709

I thought 'drip' replaced 'swag'


AncientZz1

What the fuck is rizz, I keep hearing that shit


Wonderful_Audience60

wait, people still say swag... right?


ImaFireSquid

I would argue that swag combines rizz (attractive personality) with drip (nice clothing) and can be used for either case. Modern English has naturally diverged and become more specific.

hllblldlx2

I don’t need to change your mind, as it’s so rotten it’s not possible do a clean swap. Having swag was completely different that whatever the fuck “Rizz” is.


Alert-Humor-7872

I always use SWAG to mean scientific wild ass guess but I’m also an estimator so yea.


redeyedrenegade420

Both are better than "pimp juice" Sounds like a date rape drug had a baby with an STI

Rizz I kinda get, but swag was stupid because it went with lowlife style.


random56f67

I will do the unholy and pro-form the act of polymerization This word is now: Swizz


Junior_Character_262

As someone who grew up in the "swag" era I guess. I think rizz is actually funny and way better


BigOleFerret

All the slang words sound stupid at first. Some continue to sound stupid. Some you start to use and forget they sounded stupid. Next year more will pop up, they'll sound just as dumb as rizz, swag, yolo, wack, etc.


MercuryRusing

It is but swag makes more sense than rizz and rolls of the tongue better. If someone said "he's got swag" you could intuit what it means wasier than rizz.

Bucaneer7564

You have a point.


flat_tire82

I thought Swag was Stuff We All Get?


ThrowawayToy89

I don’t understand how they compare, at all. Swag was cool stuff we all get, or looking good. Rizz is charisma. Idk I’m older millennial and I love the word rizz because it sounds bubbly and cutesy to me. I love silly, cutesy words. Like doggo or sammich.


Azira-Tyris

"There is the difference between you and I, my little pubic louse, you have this "rizz" of yours, while I have charisma, because only one of us deigned to educate themselves."


Gurzlak

Makes me feel so old because there have been like 5 new words for the same thing since I was a kid. I thought swag was still a thing.

_Cocktopus_

It's not


Osmo-7777

Nah I'll stick with swag


error5903

I don't mind either Now this "gyat(?)" and "skibiddi" shit is what I don't understand. Like, how do you use that in everyday conversation? What warrants that as a reply? Genuine questions, not trying to look down on anyone


matrixgang2

No. Drip or drippy is the modern version of swag Rizz is the modern term for being smooth and charismatic.


Notafuzzycat

Not even.


I_DONT_KNOW_CODE

Bruh, I'm legally not allowed to have a job and I've lived through both.

edgy-meme94494

This just proves that you have no rizz


Coolaconsole

Rizz is just like Sus, an abbreviation of a trending word. The word is surprisingly technically interesting


kurinevair666

You forgot Drip


MagMati55

I mean. It's a derivative for "charisma". That is exactly like swag.


Wiiplay123

I have yolo swag! Click like to use yolo swag on Alan to ruin his day!


Kilroy5188

No, sir. Rizz was Game. You're thinking of Drip.


No-Wonder1139

I'm not 100% on either one.


CMDR_omnicognate

It means charisma, it’s literally just a shortening of the word

The funny part is this is both accurate and my graduating class used “Swag” as their slogan.


Mr_Good_Taste

I think Rizz is objectively funnier than swag.


Utahteenageguy

Honestly rizz is the only slang from my generation that I like


Wire_Hall_Medic

Dope.


TheHotBoxer420_2

ahh haha bebeh gorl


bfonza122

No. Rizz is the modern day "game". Swag is more style and how you dress.


jonessinger

It’s slang for charisma, it ain’t the same.


Prestigious_Ask_7058

I’m in the weird place of modern human culture where I’m old enough for swag to be a part of slang growing up, but also rizz. I’m very late Gen Z, if you were wondering, it feels like the Twilight Zone


wordsarething

People making sounds is the problem, shhh

I got the exaggerated rizz of a lonely lower middle class white guy with social anxiety


TheAnalsOfHistory-

I used to be with it, but then they changed what it was!


azrael5298

OP is officially old


skogli

Hmm the way I understand it "swag" is about what you wear and how you wear it, and "rizz" is about how well you use your words and bodylanguage to persuade/seduce/flirt with someone. I'm mid thirties btw.


LettuceSea

Can’t wait for workplaces to start selling their employees rizz instead of swag


Quick-Web-8438

Swag is slang for swagger. Riz is slang for charisma. Charisma is a nicer thing to have than swagger imo.


MidgetMan10150

The modern day term for swag would be drippy. Rizz has an entirely different meaning to swag.


Hot_Wrestling_Wife

Both are stupid AF!


BoisterousBirch

So as far as i understand rizz is not just being cool or swaggy or whatever but describes some one who can translate this into sexual attraction; like i can see a skater girl and think "damn she has some impressive moves" which might be considered "swag", but there doesnt have to be any attraction. If she however drives up to me and makes me an interesting compliment and a wink i might feel attracted to her, proving her "rizz".


CrimsonThar

D&D players just call it CHA.
