# Rizz Unspoken Rizz "Rizz Unspoken Rizz" is a slang term for effortless flirtatious charm, with "unspoken rizz" specifically meaning attracting someone through looks or presence alone. The word "rizz" comes from the middle syllable of "charisma" and hit online popularity through Twitch streamers Kai Cenat, Silky, and Duke Dennis starting in 2021 before blowing up on TikTok in spring 2022. ## Overview Rizz is short for "charisma," pulled from the middle syllable of the word[1]. In slang, having "rizz" means natural romantic game, while "unspoken rizz" narrows it to pulling someone through looks or presence alone without needing to say a word[1]. Urban Dictionary's original entry defined the variant as attracting girls "without talking because of your looks"[1]. The term started as New York City street slang, hit online popularity through Twitch streamers, and by December 2023 was picked as Oxford Languages' Word of the Year based on a public poll of 32,000 readers[2]. Kai Cenat is generally credited as the streamer who took it mainstream[4]. ## How It Spread Kai kept the bit alive through summer and fall 2021 with joint streams and a recurring segment called the "Rizz Academy," an imagined classroom where he coached viewers on their game[3]. The specific "unspoken" variant surfaced on September 1, 2021, when fellow Twitch streamer Duke Dennis quote-tweeted a post captioned "Unspoken Rizz," attaching the phrase to cases where no words are needed[3]. TikTok pushed the term out of streamer circles. In late April 2022, TikToker thekidsmitty posted a beach video testing his unspoken rizz on girls that pulled roughly 1.8 million plays and 231,700 likes in four weeks[5]. Older Twitter users noticed and started asking what it meant, with one May 11 tweet from user OvOBrezzzy grumbling, "It's grown men out here using tik tok slangs now Wtf is Rizz." By late 2022, spinoffs including Rizz God, Negative Rizz, and Rizz Nicknames like The Rizzler and The Rizzard of Oz were trending on TikTok in their own right[5]. The word crossed fully into mainstream English when Oxford Languages picked "rizz" as its Word of the Year on December 4, 2023[2]. ## How to Use The phrase is typically used as a compliment or self-descriptor about pulling romantic attention with no visible effort. Common conventions include reaction clips where a friend narrates the moment ("This guy has unspoken rizz"), self-deprecating captions from users claiming "negative rizz," and pun nicknames built off the word like "The Rizzler"[5]. The "unspoken" prefix flags cases where no line was delivered and only presence or looks did the work[1]. ## Frequently Asked Questions ### What is Rizz Unspoken Rizz?
