Rizz "Chin Up" Prank

The Rizz 'Chin Up' Prank, also known as the Rizz Chin Touch, is a prank on TikTok in which people test their rizz by approaching someone in school or in public, fake read their palm and then move their hand up to touch the person's chin in a way that is seductive and flirtatious. Besides the chin touch, the TikTok trend also includes putting one's hand on the wall behind the rizz subject and leaning in for a kiss. It started in late 2022 and used the song "Me U & Hennessy" by DeJ Loaf featuring Lil Wayne as the primary sound, notably generating discourse after someone reportedly cried because of the Rizz Chin Touch in a school gym. In late 2023, the prank was used in tandem with the Juju Walk method.
