Oxford picks "rizz" as the word of the year
It beat out words such as prompt, situationship and Swiftie. Here's what rizz means.

So, I'm technically a zoomer on paper, unfortunately, since I just barely fall into the range of years considered to be the cut-off between millennials and zoomers. Now, I know every generation comes up with their own weird lingo, like boomers and the word "groovy"; however, is it just product of perspective or is Zoomer lingo just uniquely "cringe"? I can't particularly attribute anything to Gen X or Millennial that comes off as awfully as all that TikTok stuff like 'bussin', 'cap', 'gyatt', 'finna', etc.
Once or twice I know that I've accidentally used "sus" or "based" on the job and I certainly wanted to crawl in a hole afterwards. One time I had to seriously explain to my manager that, no, "poggers" is not a racial slur.
There's a few fun memes for the slang, but ultimately is just this me getting second-hand embarrassment over my generation or is Gen Z uniquely headache inducing?
