Comic Strips is a community for those who love comic stories.
The rules are simple:
- The post can be a single image, an image gallery, or a link to a specific comic hosted on another site (the author's website, for instance).
- 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.

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
Before sports it was apparently theatre slang.
