Rizz is exactly the kind of slang our screaming twenties was missing.

The 1920's was top of the slang game.

ah yeah, I remember when my son was born, the resident told his mother her eyebrows were fleek

don't say it to people about to undergo surgery, whatever the phrase is

As an elder millennial, I'm fascinated by the slang and youth lingo these days. If you know any you think I might not have heard please share.

A friend of mine somehow said “rad” in a way that was ironic, gently mocking, and sincerely complimentary at the same time. It was perfect. I don’t think I’ll ever meet someone else who manages to say any word in quite that way.
