The rules are simple:

- The comic must be a complete story.
- If it is an external link, it must be to a specific story, not to the root of the site.
- You may post comics from others or your own.
- If you are posting a comic of your own, a maximum of one per week is allowed (I know, your comics are great, but this rule helps avoid spam).
- The comic can be in any language, but if it's not in English, OP must include an English translation in the post's 'body' field (note: you don't need to select a specific language when posting a comic).
- Politeness.
- AI-generated comics aren't allowed.
- Adult content is not allowed. This community aims to be fun for people of all ages.

Apparently it's a thing. Like saying "it's giving (cha)rizz(matic) (vibes)" aka "it's transmiting a lot of charisma" or " it's charismatic", you gotta infer from the context what the full sentence means.
I don't think "washed" by itself is being used a lot, but economising sentences by removing parts and them being inferred via context IS something that is done a lot by young people. We used to just use initials, they are cutting words instead, lmfao.
Wait... rizz is short for charisma?? ๐คฏ
Yeah, new slang is apparently mostly shorthands of actual words. Aura also is like charisma too, charisma so strong that you can see it around the person, so, aura.
They make sense.
Slang has always been shorthand for longer words or phrases, but I didn't realize rizz fit that category.
Even things like "speak of the devil" were once longer phrases. It's a natural pattern in language that common sayings are shortened over time. Really fascinating just how common it is.
