    By context I think the room temperature IQ poster is saying “something”, but as I am one of The Olds, I cannot be sure. I know rizz as a noun, so it doesn’t make sense in the context they used it in.

        It has pretty much always been a low IQ thing when it is just about saving a negligible amount of letters. This is not your “afk” or “brb” where time is of the essence, this is similar to the people who use “u” instead of “you”.

          I feel like it’s a low iq thing not to be able to fill in a shortened word from context. New words like rizz, on the other hand, they just have to be learnt.

          its not about saving time its just more convinent, sm is wayy more convinent that something, and it can be understood even if you dont know with good context

            Digital messaging has autocomplete, and while it ducking sucks (and is getting worse, thanks LLMs), it still does all the work for you.
