Someone at work (professional office setting) asked me what "no cap" meant...
And before I knew what was happening I was 5 minutes deep talking about shooting guns randomly out windows.
I don't know why more etymology nerds aren't interested in slang it's all the cool shit about language evolving except its happening like 10-100x as fast as formal language evolves.
"a bus ticket for a window tasting"
No cap just means your bottle is going to spill
