people talk with nothing to say, no cap

Jan 5, 2022

Although the word “groovy” was popular into the 70’s, I don’t remember ever using it myself. I still use the word “cool” and it’s been around since the 1930’s. So old now that I guess I’m not aware of all the words that are currently in fashion, I didn’t know what it meant to say, “no cap.” Do you?

My 11 year-old granddaughter let me know that “no cap” is the same as saying “no lie.” How about that? She also let me know that it’s ok not to use it because people that do are just talking with nothing really to say anyway.

And then she hit me up for cake pops at Starbucks. At least she let me get something too. No cap! 🙂
