Unraveling the Rizz Phenomenon: Oxford's Word of the Year

Oxford has named "rizz" as its word of the year, a term popularized by actor Tom Holland. The word is short for charisma and refers to style, charm, or attractiveness. Other finalists for the word of the year included "Swiftie" and "situationship." Some argue that the word "parasocial" should have won, as it describes the one-sided sense of intimacy felt by fans towards celebrities. The choice of "rizz" has sparked discussions about generational differences and the evolving nature of language.
