So a lizard must be an excess of Liz?

And a leopard?

Oh no, people are gonna start being called "Rizzards" soon.

In that case it should be used ironically on people with no rizz

I've always had a soft spot for the word rizz. Not just is it a shortening of charisma, so more sensible than other zoomer words, but I grew up playing D&D, where wisdom is frequently shortened to Wis, and Cha is bad to say and doesn't rhyme.

language evolves; it will transform intro "Lizards"

this actually the plan of The Government™ ran by evil reptilian people

There used to be a lot of excess Lizzo, but she lost weight on GLP1s, like everybody else in Hollywood.
