What it means
Slang for charisma or skill in attracting a romantic partner, popularized on TikTok and named Oxford Word of the Year 2023.
Is this actually used?
French Gen Z borrowed the English word as-is rather than translating it — you'll hear "il a du rizz" (he's got rizz). There isn't a native French slang equivalent that fully replaced it; older/formal alternatives like "du charme" exist but don't carry the same TikTok-native register.
Example
Il a du rizz, ce mec.
That guy's got rizz.
