Rizz

Rizz or Unspoken Rizz is a slang term about men that means a man can attract women easily and is desirable without trying. It became notable due to Kai Cenat, Silky and Duke Dennis in mid-2021, but originated in New York City slang earlier. It became prominent in memes when referenced on TikTok and Twitter, among other platforms, in early 2022.

In May 2021, Twitch streamers Kai Cenat and Silky started streaming live e-dates with women, watching each other talk to them and then reacting to their conversations and overall performances. Through the progression of these streams, they started to introduce the idea of "rizz." If the date went well, they'd proclaim the other to have lots of "rizz," associating the slang term with having "game." For instance, on May 25th, 2021, Sliky posted a full-length recording of a Twitch stream to YouTube, wherein, he's live reacting to an e-date Kai is on. Over the course of one year, the video received roughly 70,400 views (shown below).

GYATT

GYATT, also written GYAT or GYAAATT is a slang used on Twitch and TikTok that means "goddamn" in short form. It's typically said fast and aggressively, most often when an attractive woman or man passes by with a large butt. Although it's been used on Twitter since the late 2000s by people like Nicki Minaj, it didn't become notable in memes until mid-2021, mostly due to Twitch streamer YourRage and Kai Cenat.
