My wife and I (both Xers) have started frequently trolling our son with "stop the cap!" when he's being... economical with the truth. Somehow that level of low-grade, passive-aggressive sarcasm seems very fitting to our generation.

I'm Gen-X. My 13-year-old daughter is under instructions to never call me 'bro' or 'bruh.'
My nephew's do that to my brother-in-law. They also call him 'dude.'
Dude is weird to me, but calling me 'bro' is just wrong. I want to be called Dad or Daddy. She's mostly okay with that.

What does "no cap" mean?
I'm going to offer my own theory here, which doesn't seem to be in line with the most popular theories which seem to me to be creative guesses at the origin.
I think it's possibly from twitch.tv culture. "Kappa" was a popular emote with a smug face often used to denote sarcasm. Plenty of streamers have used the phrase "No kappa" to indicate they're not joking, and some shortened it to "no kap". Since it was passed on orally, it became mistranscribed to "no cap." People were looking for an explanation for a phrase that didn't exist, and inadvertently invented one, which became the predominant theory that you'll find if you search for "no cap origin."

I just realized that I’m probably older than George. At least in the earlier seasons.
This is always upsetting.
Same for rewatching iasip. I think they're late 20s when it started.
