But what does it mean—and more importantly, why does it seem to mean something different every time you hear it? We have these answers and more, including when these words showed up in pop culture and what other Gen Alpha slang terms you might hear along with them.

Skibidi Ohio Rizz: Quick Definition

“Skibidi Ohio Rizz” means that someone appears awkward or cringey when they try to flirt. However, it’s also sometimes used as a nonsense string of popular slang words, so it may not mean anything at all in certain contexts. The phrase can also be combined with other words, like “rizzler” or “sigma.”

“Skibidi Ohio rizz” can mean someone who’s bad at flirting. If the phrase is used in reference to someone who's flirting, it might mean that the person is coming across as awkward, cringey, or off-putting. However, sometimes “skibidi Ohio rizz” is just used as a nonsense catchphrase—a collection of slang words that can mean good, bad, or nothing at all. To get a better idea of what the phrase means, let’s dive into what each of these words means individually:
- Skibidi: Can mean cool, good, bad, evil, or dumb, depending on the context—or it might not mean any of those things. Skibidi is meant to be absurd, so it can be whatever you want it to be. The popularity of “skibidi” comes from the Skibidi Toilet YouTube series by creator DaFuq?!Boom!. The first video in the series featured a lip-synching head in a toilet.^{[1]

- Ohio: Refers to something that’s awkward, bizarre, absurd, or even apocalyptic. (Apologies to the entire state of Ohio, which probably doesn't deserve that.) Memes about Ohio go back as far as 2016, but they’ve taken off with Gen Alpha—probably fueled by Ohio’s otherwise mundane reputation.
- Rizz: If someone says you have rizz, they’re saying you’re charismatic, magnetic, charming, or good at flirting.^{[2]

Where did “skibidi Ohio rizz” come from?

The first Skibidi Toilet video was posted in 2023, and the word “skibidi” blew up with Gen Alpha after that. This phrase probably started as a result of Gen Alphas putting “skibidi” before, after, and in the middle of everything they said—and once it caught on, it spread like any other gen-specific slang.

Gen Alpha slang evolves quickly, so you'll probably hear a number of takes on "skibidi Ohio rizz" before the trend dies out. Here are a few that are making the rounds:
- Skibidi Ohio rizzler: Since rizzler means someone with rizz, a skibidi Ohio rizzler would be a person who has skibidi Ohio rizz. In other words, it’s a person who’s bad at flirting.
- Skibidi Ohio: The term “skibidi Ohio” is generally used to mean something that’s weird or bad. You’ll sometimes hear it by itself, or it might be combined with other words.
- Skibidi rizz: Because there’s not one set definition for the word skibidi, skibidi rizz could be good or bad. If someone says, “They have skibidi rizz” to describe someone who just got a date, they’re saying it as a good thing. If the person just got rejected, it’s bad. If no one is being asked out or flirted with, it’s probably meant as nonsense.

- Ohio rizz: Ohio rizz means someone who’s cringey or awkward while they’re flirting. While rizz is a good thing on its own, it takes on a negative aspect when paired with the meme-inspired Ohio.
