ritz

1. A brand of crackers. Many times, they're actually two crackers with a filling in the middle, such as cheese or peanut butter. According to a submitted definition, it's this way because 'Ritz' is apparently slang for a half-Asian, half-European person - the white crackers were the white part and the yellow cheese is the Asian part. Another definition here claims it's that way because the maker of Ritz wanted a fancy name. Whatever the case may be, the cracker brand is owned by a large corperate company - Nabisco - so both explainations seem unlikely, but they may be true.

2. Fancy or elegant. (Exact definition.)

3. 'Stylishness.' This definition is implied from the song 'Puttin' on the Ritz,' which describes one trying to seem stylish, and then says, 'puttin' on the Ritz.' When it says, 'go to... where Fashion sits' before 'puttin' on the Ritz,' it's implying that wearing the latest fashion is related to Ritz, and that Ritz is largely based on your appearance. The song also mentions one trying to look like Gary Cooper, who was a popular celebrity at the time of the song's creation. 'Puttin' on the Ritz' evidently means 'dressing up stylishly.'

Now if you're blue
and you don't know
where to go to,
why don't you go
where fashion sits?
Puttin' on the Ritz.
(...)
Dressed up like a million dollar trooper,
trying hard to look like Gary Cooper."
~Fred Astaire - Puttin' on the Ritz

ritz

A cracker.
Named so because a man wanted them to sound fancy, so he named them after the fanciest guy in that time, Mr. Ritz.

Naming crackers Ritz is like calling a fancy cookie the Trump cookie

Ritzing

Also known as ritzzed, ritz, and getting ritz crackered. Basically ritzing can be compared to being a complete DICK. Many times in situations where one may suspect ritzing is occuring the victim may state the interoggative statement of "Are you ritzing me dude?" If the answer is yes then you know you are fucked unless of course you are getting ritz crackered with cheese. Cheese is the ritz factor of the equation which therefore makes it acceptable. In other words simply put, Ritzing=joking/getting screwed over, Ritz with cheese=Good thing/fucking delicious, and finally Getting Ritz Crackered=Being joked upon/or in other terms getting niggered. However do not confuse this with getting spinchtered which is something you do not ever want to experience, trust me.

"dude, are you ritz crackering me with this assumption of only 16 days untill christmas???"

"no dude not at all, but i am NIGGERING you with my realization of christmas is gonna be sweet fucking shit!"

"HO HO! this has CANNOT be the world, unless of course you are ritzing me!?"
