A comment on "Rizz." I had no idea what the origin of this was and I was unaware that it was in use enough to warrant inclusion. I think I had heard it once in my life, as a lyric in a throwaway song written by Harry Nilsson for Ringo Starr, Drumming is My Madness. "Rizz off!" was exclaimed just before Ringo went into a drum break. What that has to do with anything always perplexed me!
Quite timely! Let me add three of my own and use them in a sentence -- lawyer up; double down; plausible deniability. As in: "Scott, if you double down on using these words, you'll need to invoke plausible deniability that you are accountable; otherwise, you'll need to lawyer up to defend yourself against those who value proper language." (And Happy New Year...)

I like Ringo’s use better than the current generation’s. Since LSSU has a strong tie to the younger generation, I’m sure they hear it *plenty*.

An excellent selection, David. And bonus points for the usage!
