No Cap is a slang term used as an alternative to "no lie" to tell people you're serious about something and not lying.
You got it, fellow kid!
Is cap short for something, or just a random word selected here?
~~I 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
I thought it referred to the "kappa" emote on twitch which conveys sarcasm (/s basically), so no cap = no sarcasm intended.
I 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
