I’ve never heard that phrase before but it sounds like something I can use to annoy the piss out of my kids and their friends. Kind of like yeet, rizz, or cap. Especially if I use it wrong intentionally.

I don’t know. Perhaps familiarity? Or the subject matter?
I just happened to see the comment and wanted to contribute. From a Mastodon perspective, you guys have ‘default’ avatars and sometimes the conversation seem to fly by. Might be a reason others don’t engage. On reddit type places having a default was “norm” but at least on Mastodon I think it’s considered “norm” to have an avi.
Different interface so the engagement is different, maybe?

Hey cap, your yeet is pretty rizz, ong smh
Yeet makes sense. Rizz, I at least understand where it comes from (cha[rizz]ma). But I do not get “cap”.
@QuinceDaPence
It’s from Kappa from Twitch based on one of the employees.
Kappa made the face, kappa came from “no kappa” which denoted being serious and was shortened to “no cap”

Interesting.
On an unrelated note, did Mastodon fix/change something with interacting with Lemmy and Kbin posts? I’ve been seeing a lot of y’all all of a sudden.

Cap doesn’t come from Kappa. The term “capping” has been slang for lying or exaggerating in the hip hop community for many many years.
