New rection emoji

I have never heard these slang terms. Must be only in Italian neighborhoods. In gangsta to cap means to pop a cap, i.e. I'ma cap yo ass.

no African American mostly but diffused into "whitey" communities

Ah, so it's US "kidspeak", not really required on an International forum, even though US based. We tend to communicate in English here, avoiding idiotic and vague slang words which would not be understood by members who are not American.

The expression "cap" started in the early 1900, no cap first appeared on twitter around 2012.
In Black slang, to cap about something is "to brag," "to exaggerate," or "to lie" about it. This meaning of cap dates back to the early 1900s.

History lesson: In the 1940s, according to Green's Dictionary of Slang, to cap is evidenced as slang meaning "to surpass," connected to the ritualized insults of capping (1960s). These terms appear to be rooted in the sense of cap as "top" or "upper limit."

So, no cap has the sense of "no lie," "no joke," "for real," or "not bragging." The expression is closely associated with slang in Atlanta-area hip-hop. It appears on Twitter by at least 2012, though it was almost certainly in use in spoken English before then.

I do know that anybody that shoots a gun "gangsta" style is more likely to hit a grandmother on the 3rd floor in a building 1/2 a block away than the intended target.

Some of them couldn't hit their own butt if they shoved the gun down the back of their pants.

"Gangsta" is nothing to aspire to.

I believe this thread has run full circle.

The emojis are what they are, use what's there but they'll be no new additions.

With that said, wave Bye-bye...
