No Cap

Teen slang, explained for parents.

What it means

"No lie" or "I'm serious." As in: "That was the best day, no cap." Used constantly. The opposite, "cap," means lying or exaggerating. "Cap" = lie. "No cap" = truth.

How to bring it up with your kid

Just use it back: "Dinner was amazing, no cap." They will either laugh or cringe. Both are a win.

Calm guidance for raising kids in a digital world.
