minus-squarevirku@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up7·2 months agoIs cap short for something, or just a random word selected here?
minus-squareLumun@lemmy.ziplinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up8·edit-22 months agoI think it refers to a cap (hat), because culturally when you take off your cap it means you are being truthful. Similar to the term “hat in hand” I looked into it more and seems like the origins of cap meaning to lie is unclear. So looks like I was off base
minus-squarecaoimhinr@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up1·1 month agoI thought it referred to the “kappa” emote on twitch which conveys sarcasm (/s basically), so no cap = no sarcasm intended.
minus-squareSphks@lemmy.dbzer0.comlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up3·2 months agoI don’t know. I just googled all of these terms as I am … old. Origin of “no cap” comes from “high capping” (rap lyrics). https://amp.knowyourmeme.com/memes/no-cap-cap
