I mean its just a shortened form of Charisma. Cha sounds weird, and Risma sounds like the set up for a "MUH BAWLZ" Joke

We say CHA in my D&D group when talking about the stat, but I'm gonna start saying rizz at the table and see how people react.

"Go ahead and give me a roll on a DC15 rizz check..."

tbf, DnD groups were where I got a lot of my exposure to the newer generations words xD

Could just say charisma. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Have you really never shortened a word in your life?

Sure, but what the hell happens to charismatic in this situation? Does that get shortened too, so now we've got people saying "Yo Zendaya is totally rizzmatic!". Or does everyone just need to re-arrange all sentences that would use charismatic so that only the noun form gets used and we avoid ever having to use it as an adjective?

I mean, Rizzmatic sounds awesome, I'm down to hear that variation. Language is constantly in flux. It has never stayed static. Multiple variations of 1 word just means you get to pick which one you like best

I didn't know it came from Charisma. Makes sense

I mean, I cant confirm directly where it originated from. But it's used in the exact same way charisma is, and means basically the same thing
