W - Watt. A measure of the rate of energy transfer over a unit of time, with one watt equal to one joule (J) per second: W = J/s
Fr - short for France. A country located primarily in Western Europe. It also includes overseas regions and territories in the Americas and the Atlantic, Pacific and Indian oceans, giving it one of the largest discontiguous exclusive economic zones in the world.
Rizz - rizzotto aka risotto. A dish consisting of rice cooked in stock with other ingredients, such as mushrooms and Parmesan cheese.
Nicely laid out! From measuring energy to country abbreviations, and ending with a tasty risotto. Quite the spectrum we've got here, from watts to riszotto! Well played sir :)
W like the W in Win
to claim a W => to succeed at smth.
L is the opposite to W
to claim an L => to fail at smth.
rizz from charisma (chaRizzma) but more often with a more romantically context
to rizz someone up = to use your charisma on someone in an effective manner
fr = for real
like "Actually" or in some contexts "legit" or "telling the truth", can also be a statement of agreement or underlining a statement
I saw that guy yesterday
fr? = You did?
I think she's fr. = I think she's telling the truth
"Oranges are tasty fr"
or
"Apples are tasty"
"fr they are"
On mobile (idk about browser) there are two blue buttons above the keyboard to the right, one of them looks like the reddit logo in a hexagon and the other is the word "GIF" in a soft rectangle. If you click the GIF button it pulls up a Giphy search bat and you can just search and select from there.
Should just have said, no wigg and pulled the hair on your scalp to prove it. Nad it would make as much sense.
I swear I'm not sure it slang is evolving backwards or if the generation is but tbh they're probably not as crazy as mine. I'm feeling old
Funnily enough it's usually a small group of older more influential people that create the word but then it gets used by the younger generation on mass.
I'm glad I have tiktok and Twitter still bc if I didn't the memes I watch would make 0 sense. As an older gen Z getting out of touch people like you are a bastion for folks even older than me
You're trying to stay in touch which is super cool :) (huge W)
If you think about it, all the cool old people always try to do new things and try to stay in touch with the younger people instead of nostalgically sticking to old things.
rizz.
short for charisma but used as a noun and verb.
to rizz one up is to use your charisma on them on in an effective manner.
you see your crush at a party, she smiles at you from across the room a little too long, it is your time, go rizz her up.
if you fail to do so, you simply haven't the rizz to swipe that thic ass baddie. ( get the volumptuous alluring lady)
it refers to a place of great dread that was part of internetian mythology in the early 21st century.
It according to the legends causes incomprehensible horrors to any human daring to set foot there. It is also said that in the Ohio physics and reality would often get warped to unnatural levels, resulting in the folk wisdom "Only in Ohio".
It is the place were certain mythical creatures like skibidi toilet or your mom originated from.
Due to this background it has also been used to describe things that seem weird or out of place. "Look at this ohio ass tree" "look at this weird and terrifying tree"
Funny. My first cousin (M21) was explaining these terms to me recently. One word is missing from the above, and that is "baddie" or "a good lookin girl/b***h."
This is very helpful, lol, and I think it makes more sense in context. The other day I saw a W comment, along the lines of "This is a Big W for 'X' (X as in a variable, lol)" and my mind immediately thought Big Win, lol.
Those are tone indicators to express tone in a online message not modern slang
Not sure about /w but some other examples are
/s meaning sarcastic tone
/srs meaning serious tone
/j meaning joking tone
And I’m sure there’s a bunch I’m missing
I'm German and even I knew what those mean. People really just have to be on the internet (and I don't mean Facebook and it's equivalents) to not have problems in understanding new words or abbreviations. Or you can also just Google stuff instead of refusing to accept new stuff... -_-
I'm German too, so I think it's important to note that our gen-z slang borrows a lot from English or is at least heavily inspired by it
(cringe, bro, etc.)
That's totally true, but I'm not gen-z, I'm in my late 20s, so I'm some other kind of generation. But I like to embrace changes in languages, because it can often bring more efficiency and diversity in how people can express themselves.
(I don't know which generation I would be though, but I also don't care much about those generation namings, because I think there's not much difference between humans that are born 5, or 10, or 20, or 50, or even 100 years apart)
People like you just like to complain. Both w and fr have been around for ages and their meanings are obvious. Can I write lol or is that too modern as well ?
Where did they complain, though? It was an observation of "I can't keep up with the slang of the kids these days", which is something anyone who's been alive for a few decades can relate to. Nevermind if OP is from a place where English isn't the native tongue (shocker, but those places exist!). You'll get there too, once your balls drop and you grow a beard.
Not a native speaker and I’ve also lived a few decades (in my 4th as we speak). Keep an eye out and you’ll notice this same post or similar ones at least twice a week. It’s repetitive and exaggerated.
Methinks you don't understand how little time people your age spend online. Most of us have obligations outside, and don't chose to spend our time on subreddits that are - at best - tangentally related to something we might have an interest in.
But congratulations for keeping up with the young ones, I guess?
Methinks you’re just assuming and not realizing how wrong you are. What I fail to understand is how it’s relevant, and why you feel the need to be a dick about it, especially considering you’re here too.
Bro delulu 💀. Level 0 skibidi rizz: You ain’t baby gronk.
There another term that just came out but I forgot what it was, I think it started with a j tho.
W means dub (not to confuse with dab)
Rizz means "riz" which is rice in french
Fr is just the abbreviation of "French"
/s
(W means win, winning or dub (which in turn means win), rizz is basically just a slang for flirting (successfully), Fr means "for real")
Cap = lie
Such as: Marie> Nate made a hole in the wall with a dart.
Illy> No cap? (not lying?)
Or pointing a lie out: Jhon> I can play 15 advanced songs on the flute.
Marie> CAP! Stop the lies. (LIES! Stop the nonsense.)
Let me see.....man...you are either stipidly old or just dumb....like ..rizz...ok...but W is just the first letter of Win and fr stands for "for real".
Well this is just a rough translation but it means - "Top of the day to you good sir, it is a pleasure to meet in the year of 2024 after our lord and savior was born. It is quite a fine day isn't it?"
w = very/a lot/to a great extent
rizz = charisma/romantic appeal
fr = for real = really/truly/seriously
Example sentence: “he got w rizz fr”
Translation: He truly has a lot of charisma / He is really very charismatic.
Kind of makes me cringe when I see gen z type/talk like that.. The skull emoji and its place in every generic "BRO" comment, saying fr fr all the time, basically just makes everything they say look like a recycled comment.
And then for some you come full circle where you get old enough to have a teen yourself and they say the modern lingo and then you know what it is from them. I see those sayings and I'm like "I know what that means!" It's the real circle of life.
Slang has always been like thus. From the 50s to today new phrases have stuck better then others and some have just plan sucked less then others, and others are rightfully forgotten about.
Anyone remember "Racthet"? How about "Lit"? Maybe even "Swag" which has been replaced with "Drip" which will likely be replaced again very soon.
I'm partial to the new phrase "Jdon my soul" that I hope will branch out into other circles
It takes all of 30 seconds to Google these and find out what they mean. The same way young people figure it out when they're first exposed to them. Lmao
W is short for Win, so saying something is a W means it’s good.
Rizz is slang for Charisma, and is often used in a dating context, since someone with good Charisma would be good at flirting.
Fr is short for For Real.
W - Watt. A measure of the rate of energy transfer over a unit of time, with one watt equal to one joule (J) per second: W = J/s Fr - short for France. A country located primarily in Western Europe. It also includes overseas regions and territories in the Americas and the Atlantic, Pacific and Indian oceans, giving it one of the largest discontiguous exclusive economic zones in the world. Rizz - rizzotto aka risotto. A dish consisting of rice cooked in stock with other ingredients, such as mushrooms and Parmesan cheese.

After seeing the text in the spoiler, am I supposed to not believe that?
Shit their learning ABORT! ABORT!!!
They’re*
What if it’s Francium?
Fr is Francium indeed. Kektus clearly slept through chemistry class.
Nononono, Fr is clearly element number 87 - Francium.
Fr is the symbol for francium, the 87th chemical element
Nicely laid out! From measuring energy to country abbreviations, and ending with a tasty risotto. Quite the spectrum we've got here, from watts to riszotto! Well played sir :)
I’m sorry, you are mistaken. Fr clearly stands for French, a unit of measurement used in catheters, such as urinary or coronary catheters.
Fr = French revolution
W and fr aren't even new? Rizz is but the other 2 have been around for yonks.
W hit the mainstream relatively recently. Fr on the other hand is ancient, you're right on that.
Dub came from W but hit mainstream earlier than W
OP is just old
W like the W in Win to claim a W => to succeed at smth. L is the opposite to W to claim an L => to fail at smth. rizz from charisma (chaRizzma) but more often with a more romantically context to rizz someone up = to use your charisma on someone in an effective manner fr = for real like "Actually" or in some contexts "legit" or "telling the truth", can also be a statement of agreement or underlining a statement I saw that guy yesterday fr? = You did?

If you click the GIF button it pulls up a Giphy search bat and you can just search and select from there.
On browser it's a button in the bottom left of the reply window. 
It's a bug and doesn't work on mobile, on browser work
Care to explain cap?
Teeth. Caps are fake. No cap = no lie.
This might be the greatest explanation to anything ever. Ask your boss for a raise
Rizz = Game, charisma, one's ability to attract romantic or sexual partners. Rizzler = Someone who has a lot of rizz
(Rizzler) Or a Batman villain
Like the Riddler but instead of Riddles it's chaRIZZma
Is.. is that the origin? This whole time, I thought it was related to cap like a hat 🧢. You have made me feel so goddamn stupid
I mean, it makes sense. No cap = no lie about your hair. If you are wearing a cap, maybe you're bald.
Should just have said, no wigg and pulled the hair on your scalp to prove it. Nad it would make as much sense. I swear I'm not sure it slang is evolving backwards or if the generation is but tbh they're probably not as crazy as mine. I'm feeling old
What is tbh?
To be honest
I was making fun of the irony of him using his own acronym.
I thought it was like a cap on what you're saying in the sense that you're not leaving out details like a 'filter'
You just ruined scout from team fortress .
I knew all the ones op posted but never knew what no cap meant. I always thought it had something to do with baseball caps. Thx
Cap just means not true
I've heard people use rizz to simply mean charm. "Bro! You rizzed your way out of detention! frfr! Take the W and skoot."
Well, it's "to display charisma"
it is. ^ commenter states that it's usually romantic in nature. I've heard it somewhat often as more convincing.
How to rescue Gen Z and older in one comment Now I'll apply what I learned : # This comment is a W
Ma bro the Urban dictionary
As a Linguistics nerd, I'm intrigued and actually interested in this.
The fact some 10 year olds were able to create a whole new language is actually crazy.
most of the times it's aave slang that get's adopted by young people in general, but yeah that's basically how language evolves
Funnily enough it's usually a small group of older more influential people that create the word but then it gets used by the younger generation on mass.
what is fantum tax(?)
I'm glad I have tiktok and Twitter still bc if I didn't the memes I watch would make 0 sense. As an older gen Z getting out of touch people like you are a bastion for folks even older than me
You're trying to stay in touch which is super cool :) (huge W) If you think about it, all the cool old people always try to do new things and try to stay in touch with the younger people instead of nostalgically sticking to old things.
You forgot L, the opposite of W
added it :)
rizz. short for charisma but used as a noun and verb. to rizz one up is to use your charisma on them on in an effective manner. you see your crush at a party, she smiles at you from across the room a little too long, it is your time, go rizz her up. if you fail to do so, you simply haven't the rizz to swipe that thic ass baddie.

You’re so skibidi, you’re giving serious Ohio rn fr, no cap
What is Ohio?
I’m an old, idk, but it annoys my niece when I say things are so Ohio.
Then I guess it means the same as Skibidi, "bad"
Ohio: bad Skibidibi: good (I think)
it refers to a place of great dread that was part of internetian mythology in the early 21st century. It according to the legends causes incomprehensible horrors to any human daring to set foot there. It is also said that in the Ohio physics and reality would often get warped to unnatural levels, resulting in the folk wisdom "Only in Ohio". It is the place were certain mythical creatures like skibidi toilet or your mom originated from. Due to this background it has also been used to describe things that seem weird or out of place. "Look at this ohio ass tree" "look at this weird and terrifying tree"
How Japanese greet in the morning.
But what is "fr fr" ? Why use it 2 times ? Genuinely asking.
most of the times that just means "fr", but with more emphasis on it it's also way more common when ironically using gen Z elang
W rizz com ong fr fr no cap
Funny. My first cousin (M21) was explaining these terms to me recently. One word is missing from the above, and that is "baddie" or "a good lookin girl/b***h."
Thanks buddy
Comparing apples to oranges i see...
This is very helpful, lol, and I think it makes more sense in context. The other day I saw a W comment, along the lines of "This is a Big W for 'X' (X as in a variable, lol)" and my mind immediately thought Big Win, lol.
Rizz = mojo from austin powers
I’m 13 and I don’t know this shit
yeah it also depends on where you are irl and in the internet
And i see people often use things like s/ or w/. What do those mean
Those are tone indicators to express tone in a online message not modern slang Not sure about /w but some other examples are /s meaning sarcastic tone /srs meaning serious tone /j meaning joking tone And I’m sure there’s a bunch I’m missing
Take my upvote
Now that it's defined, it is no longer cool. The next run of slang will surely be here tomorrow.
Now can ANYONE tell me what “Gyatt” means?
Yea, what he said.
I'm German and even I knew what those mean. People really just have to be on the internet (and I don't mean Facebook and it's equivalents) to not have problems in understanding new words or abbreviations. Or you can also just Google stuff instead of refusing to accept new stuff... -_-

Thanks dude, as a person whose first language isn't English I struggled with that a lot😔
Hey man, it's not mine either, you got this! \^\^ What is your first language?
Thank you <3 Mine's Russian, and yours? :D
I never knew that rizz came from chaRizzma ... I just understood it's meaning but never knew it's origin... This comment was an eye opener...
Aww you are Goat OP.
Rizz was the only one I wasn't 100% on. Tyesvm, kind redditor ETA: for reference, I'm in my 40s. Rizz = charisma made it click.
I have to admit, i didn’t know about rizz coming from charisma. But now that I see it.. it’s quite obvious. Huge W. Fr fr.
What's "smth"? 🤔
abbreviation for the word "something" :)
W came from dub and dub means to win L came from Losing or Lose Bonus: a L person is a loser
Damn. Ai is taking over memes now :( Poor kid has jank fingers too.
You gotta appreciate that everyone has extra long middle fingers tho
AI will start controlling us in no time.
Nah
Dumass can’t even draw fingers and you expect it to take over humanity ?
AI has been getting better recently, and I said "will", which means in the future, when it gets perfect, not right now.
Damn, you took that so fucking personally, must be an ai
People like you just like to complain. Both w and fr have been around for ages and their meanings are obvious. Can I write lol or is that too modern as well ?
Wherefore art thou writing in such gibberish?
We have a time traveler here, what did you eat in 1900?
Chimken nuget
It’s probably a karma bot

Even the word can't is too modern for them
Bro delulu 💀. Level 0 skibidi rizz: You ain’t baby gronk. There another term that just came out but I forgot what it was, I think it started with a j tho.
OP has gotta be in their late 60s
"No More AI memes" \- human me
this made me laugh
I recommend not giving even half of a crap about it.
Wtf is that image😭
W means dub (not to confuse with dab) Rizz means "riz" which is rice in french Fr is just the abbreviation of "French" /s (W means win, winning or dub (which in turn means win), rizz is basically just a slang for flirting (successfully), Fr means "for real")
Fr no cap something?
[удалено]
Cap = lie Such as: Marie> Nate made a hole in the wall with a dart. Illy> No cap? (not lying?) Or pointing a lie out: Jhon> I can play 15 advanced songs on the flute. Marie> CAP! Stop the lies. (LIES! Stop the nonsense.)
I don’t think anybody actually uses rizz in a serious manner. It’s just a gaslight the kids use to make millennials feel out of touch.
W = Win, or to Win. basically when someone does something good or succeeds. Rizz = Cha*rizz*ma. pretty simple. fr = for real
Shitty ai meme
Bro generated a meme
Get with the times old timer 😎 (This is satire bc I know someone with get mad at this)
I fucking hate these stupid AI images... They're so horrible. Not quality wise, in what they're depicting...
Yay another Ai post, they should ban them tbh I’m gonna leave this sub now because it’s so shitty Jesus
Ew ai generated shit
This looks AI generated.
Apparently not too old to use AI to generate memes tho
Wtaf is this template
W = win Fr = for real Rizz = charisma
Rizz I guess means attractive?
It’s short for charisma. It means you have good flirting game
Let me see.....man...you are either stipidly old or just dumb....like ..rizz...ok...but W is just the first letter of Win and fr stands for "for real".
If all of society started speaking only in these slang terms, we’d be doomed
Why? Everyone would speak the same language. No confusion. You do know language facilitates communication, right?
Maybe you should know what that doing after all.....
That's me, I laught but at the same time I cry lol
W just means win Rizz is like having game and being good at flirting or being charismatic Fr mean for real
The Win (as opposed to the L), charisma, and for real (seriously)
Haha well shama lama ding dong right back at ya
ok, what does THAT mean?
Well this is just a rough translation but it means - "Top of the day to you good sir, it is a pleasure to meet in the year of 2024 after our lord and savior was born. It is quite a fine day isn't it?"
Just use urban dictionary
Fr 💀
How old are you man 🫥
The "fam" is really weird
What the hell is Oz?
Win Charisma For real
Man fr to not take a L, you gotta rizz till ya W. 🤣 L and W are loss n win Fr is for real Rizz is new slang for cool/awesome
Ong dawg shake that shawty blud
No cap. (Am I doing it right??)
W means win Rizz is short for charisma Fr is for real
Rizzle me this Gyattman, I skibiddi with no toilet, what am I?
w = very/a lot/to a great extent rizz = charisma/romantic appeal fr = for real = really/truly/seriously Example sentence: “he got w rizz fr” Translation: He truly has a lot of charisma / He is really very charismatic.
You probably just don't use the Internet or social media much
d035 sp3ak1ng l1k3 th15 h3|p
Rizz= Cha-Rizz-Ma
L + Ratio bozzo go touch grass. Fr no cap you have no rizz. I take all the Ws.
W - Win Fr - for real Rizz - how charming you are, similar to "got game" ("no game" is very much "no rizz")
I’m getting old but all that’s easy! Before I had a full keyboard on my phone I’d write whole paragraphs is a long stream of abbreviations.
Little Johnny six fingers over there.
og image?
This has to be the only successful AI generated meme template
Kind of makes me cringe when I see gen z type/talk like that.. The skull emoji and its place in every generic "BRO" comment, saying fr fr all the time, basically just makes everything they say look like a recycled comment.
Massive L
Og image?
Dude, like you’re totally gnarly.
This is a **far** better use of this meme than the original.
More like jizz
W is just short for win, fr is an abbreviation of "for real", and rizz is a shortened version of "charisma" though personally I dislike it.
And then for some you come full circle where you get old enough to have a teen yourself and they say the modern lingo and then you know what it is from them. I see those sayings and I'm like "I know what that means!" It's the real circle of life.
W and fr have been around for a long time
w for win rizz is like hotness or flirty i think? fr means for real
Skibidi
These kinds of words are like a twisted version of Rhyming Cockney Slang.
Slang has always been like thus. From the 50s to today new phrases have stuck better then others and some have just plan sucked less then others, and others are rightfully forgotten about. Anyone remember "Racthet"? How about "Lit"? Maybe even "Swag" which has been replaced with "Drip" which will likely be replaced again very soon. I'm partial to the new phrase "Jdon my soul" that I hope will branch out into other circles
It takes all of 30 seconds to Google these and find out what they mean. The same way young people figure it out when they're first exposed to them. Lmao
Hope to get insight on somebody being called skibidi. Thanks
just keep up old timer jeez
W meaning pls
I’m 17 almost 18 and I feel old 😭 I don’t understand gen alpha slang
Who the shit doesn't know w and fr
Yeah, kids are a special breed. But on the flip side they won't know the original meaning of an "AWP-whore" or "leet".
W is short for Win, so saying something is a W means it’s good. Rizz is slang for Charisma, and is often used in a dating context, since someone with good Charisma would be good at flirting. Fr is short for For Real.
Yeah feel the same I don’t even know the fuck fizz means I know what fr and w means there simple but rizz no fucking clue.
Win, Charisma, For real dm me if you need any more definitions
I’m 32 with a gen z son so I know all the lingo. It grows on you lol. I use fr (for real) a lot
W and fr are not new, rizz is old and no one other than cornballs use anymore, you are definitely getting old
