Even "rizz" is just short for "charisma," making "rizzler" a mildly funny portmanteau of "riddler" and "rizz." It may become an enduring part of the language, like "cool" or even "sweet," or it may die off like "groovy" or "a fine how-do-you-do" or "phat."

Anyway, I agree with you. Literally every generation comes up with their own slang. Some of it catches on permanently. Most doesn't. I would advise people not to fall into the boomerism trap of saying, "back in my day we had reasonable slang, why are kids today like this??"

Edit: actually, the zoomer phrase "let's go!!" made me think about this recently. (For any who don't know what I'm talking about, it's used as an exclamation when something good happens, almost exactly like "yes!" or "hurray!") I find that phrase particularly interesting because it uses only the King's English. It literally could have become a thing in Shakespeare's time, but as far as I know, it took all the way until Gen Z to spring up -- and I wouldn't be surprised if it ends up being one that catches on for good.
