rizz noun, slang : romantic appeal or charm

They messed up by not mentioning charisma imo. Rizz was born from the second syllable of charisma and means charisma applied in a romantic way.

Just how was 'Vector graphics' only added in this month? Surely its been more than half a century since the term came up?

I think the words have to reach some sort of threshold for popularity before inclusion in the dictionary. Before that, it's just industry jargon. There's probably thousands of graphic design terms that aren't in the dictionary right now.

This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it's too interesting, it doesn't belong. If it's not interesting, it doesn't belong.

This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh.. what do we know?

Just post some stuff and don't spam.
