rizzler

A rizzler is someone with a lot of rizz, meaning charm and skill at flirting. It’s a playful title for a smooth talker, and it’s often used ironically.

What does rizzler mean?

Rizzler builds on rizz, the slang word for charm or the ability to attract someone. Add “-ler” and you get a person: the rizzler is the one who always seems to get the number, make the crush laugh, or win over the room.

Because it sounds a little silly, people often use it teasingly: calling your friend “the rizzler” after a single awkward compliment is more joke than praise. Kids also use it in absurd meme mash-ups with words like sigma and skibidi.

How to use rizzler

• “He got her Instagram in five minutes. Certified rizzler.”
• “Okay rizzler, calm down.” (teasing)
• “The rizzler strikes again.”
• “I’m not a rizzler, I panic and say ‘you too’ to waiters.”

Rizzler vs. rizz
