Literally the dumbest and most worthless gen z slang. It doesn’t save any time whatsoever. Why would you need slang for a very specific thing like lying?
Especially when “cap” is already used to mean capacity limitation, like a bandwidth cap. But it shouldn’t be surprising, I guess, considering it was invented and will only ever be seriously used by people who don’t pay bills.
“Why do these men insist upon using ‘bully’ as an alternative to ‘ruffian?’ ‘Bully’ already has a meaning! They’re a prostitute’s bodyguard! I say, the English language surely is dying here in the late 19th century!”
'00s born and I agree with you; maybe it’s because I’m not American, and I don’t understand the collective Gen-Z subculture. I have no clue what these people are talking about. Rizz, cap, fam, and whatever these new Tiktok words are - life around simplified English was much easier.

Slang is for identifying the ingroup vs. the outgroup, not for efficiency of communication.
