No Cap

You’ve likely seen cap and no cap used on social media, but these terms actually pre-date social media and Gen Z by several decades. In Black slang, to cap about something means “to brag, exaggerate, or lie” about it. This meaning dates all the way back to at least the early 1900s. No cap, then, has evolved as another way of saying “no lie” or “for real.” Though it’s currently popular with Gen Z, no cap was mostly influenced by hip-hop culture.

Capped

A term used for very old firearms. Usually the ones made in or before the 1800s, and for a gun to be "capped" basically refers to the percussion caps that were slipped over the "nipple" of a Muzzleloader firearm, which would ignite the powder inside the Muzzle of the gun once there was a sharp tap that was delivered from the hammer of the gun, as it would drop down and hit the cap, igniting the powder inside the gun, shooting off the black powder ball or bullet stored within the gun.
