You may well be familiar with Oxford University Press, and its annual “word of the year"  award. Regular listeners may remember that the 2022 word of the year was "goblin mode," as we ran a dedicated episode on the topic around a year ago.

Now for the 2023 award, "swifties," "situationship," and "prompt" were among the final four terms in the running. But those three fell just short. Drumroll, please— it was the less well-known term "rizz" that took the crown.

Who came up with the word “rizz” then? How do I use it in a sentence then? In under 3 minutes, we answer your questions!
