rizz
Part of speech: noun
verb
Morphological type: simple
Etymology: Coined by YouTuber and Twitch streamer Kai Cenat (or one of his close friends) around May 2021 and popularized on TikTok in 2022. Rizz further increased in prominence throughout 2023 and was chosen as the 2023 Word of the Year by Oxford University Press. Contrary to popular belief, Cenat has confirmed that the term is not short for charisma, though it has likely influenced the pronunciation.
Possible earlier use
In 1999, in the fourth episode, "Cassandra", of the eighth season of the British sitcom Red Dwarf, the character Arnold Rimmer uses the phrase "giving it rizz" referring to the act of engaging in sexual intercourse. While the usage in the episode implies a similar meaning to its modern colloquial meaning, it did not appear to have popularised the term.
This line is referenced on the official Red Dwarf website https://reddwarf.co.uk/features/analysis/remembering-rimmer/, and the episode is available in the UK on BBC iPlayer. https://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episode/p00bpm2n/red-dwarf-viii-4-cassandra

Baby Gronk shared that he would be focusing not on grade school or a paper route but ... his love for video games. To be fair, the purported "rizz king" of the pre-pubescent sports world is probably not the one who actually said any of the above.

pos: adj
tags: not-comparable
examples: Within 9 months of the Roe decision, 188 bills to restrict abortion were introduced in 41 states. As described in Chapter 5, post-Roe statutes included requirements of spousal or parental consent, hospitalization for second trimester abortions, mandatory waiting periods, and funding restrictions.
In the post-Roe period, however, state authority was largely taken away by the federal courts (strict scrutiny analysis prevailed), yet abortion was a lively issue in many state legislatures.
On July 3, 1989, the U.S. Supreme Court upheld three key provisions of the Missouri statute and, though it didn’t overturn Roe, set back the “pro-choice” movement more than any decision in the post-Roe period.
Conversely, a substantively minimalist jurisprudence, allowing the outright prohibition of abortions, is equally unworkable; in the years before Roe, when nontherapeutic abortions were prohibited in nearly every state, abortions were almost as common as they are in the post-Roe period (albeit less safe).
gloss: After the overturning of Roe v. Wade (2022).

He had surrounded her with doctors, trained nurses, massage-women, and even faith-cure companions, but they were useless.
It is often asked, Why are faith-cures sometimes more speedy than some of the cures wrought through Christian Scientists?

During the campaign, Bobby Jindal tried to insult President Trump on Twitter but ended up suggesting that only fools would donate to Jindal’s campaign: “We have met. You wrote a check. A fool & his money are soon parted. A fool & his dad’s money are parted sooner.” Jindal owned himself.
"Unfortunately, ... we've had some incidents on travel dating back to when I first started serving in the March-April timeframe," [Scott] Pruitt told the Union Leader, which is hilarious because up to that point Pruitt never willingly spoke with a union leader. "We live in a very toxic environment politically, particularly around issues of the environment."
Besides that final quote being the grand champion of self-owns, publication of the interview led to more information about Pruitt's first-class habit.
Although—I will admit, I'm really enjoying what a self-own some of your logic is. You're like, "oh no we can't let trans girls compete against cis girls because we believe that trans girls are actually boys and everybody knows boys are athletically and intellectually superior to girls in every way and so we must protect our dumb weak daughters from being embarrassed."
