Quick Glance: New Phrase 'Rizz' Named Word of the Year

The new phrase 'Rizz' has been officially named the word of the year by the Oxford Dictionary.

The UK publication searches through millions of words each year to find the most commonly used phrase.

Oxford defines 'Rizz' as 'Pertaining to someone’s ability to attract another person through style, charm, or attractiveness.'

'Rizz' can also be used as a verb, often in the phrase 'Rizz up', which means 'to attract, seduce, or chat up (a person).'
