That's a lie · That's not true · You're exaggerating
Ever heard a story so wild, so unbelievable, that you just knew it couldn't be true? 🤯 Or maybe someone's bragging a bit too much? 'That's cap!' is your go-to phrase to call out those tall tales or exaggerations in a playful, informal way. It’s perfect for lighthearted moments when you suspect someone isn't being entirely truthful.
💡 **Origin Story!** This popular slang term comes from the phrase 'no cap,' meaning 'no lie' or 'for real.' So, if 'no cap' means 'no lie,' then 'cap' or 'that's cap' means... 'lie!' 😜 Remember, it's super informal and best used with friends. Using it in a formal setting might raise an eyebrow or two! 😉
When would you most appropriately use 'That's cap'? A. When someone tells you they appreciate your hard work. B. When someone claims they saw a unicorn riding a skateboard. C. When someone asks you for directions to the nearest coffee shop.
