Latest GenZ Slangs and Their Meanings

Riyal: While the literal meaning is Saudi Arabia's national currency, it means agreeing or making sense of something in the slang term. It is also similar to saying real but with a spelling difference, only to make it cool.

Rizz: The word Rizz is derived from charisma. Someone with rizz is one who is charming and puts themselves out there. The term is often used when referring to someone who can confidently and successfully pursue a potential romantic partner.

Based: This is more like a phrase of affirmation. Replying to someone with "based" means saying 'I agree' or 'That's right.' The slang emerged on TikTok as a means to communicate being yourself without caring what others think. Gen Z, Millennials Who Remain 'Very Online' Most Vulnerable to Fake News, Finds Study.

These are some words to add to your new vocabulary from GenZ. So next time you see these words in comment sections, you know what they mean.
