I think an unofficial sport of The Internet is to coin new slang and convince others that everyone else is using it.

Removing the "up" from "washed up" doesn't seem all that clever, though.

Don't expect clever from Twitch chat.

Rizz isn't from Twitch chat, it's AAVE co-opted and then overused incorrectly to the point of making it uncool by suburban teens (like most slang).

I was talking about 'washed' though.

"Washed" is from sports, though. "X athlete is washed" has existed long before being used in Twitch chat/gaming/esports spaces.

Basically what I was trying to (poorly) convey is you give Twitch chat too much credit, they come up with nothing original in the first place lol
