On God, you are cappin’ rn fr.
I am the danger.
A hater gets caught lackin’ in the crib and you think that’s my vibe?
A guy opens his door and gets shot, and you think that of me?
Deadass,
No,
I am the one that’s bussin’
I am the one who knocks!

I will note that a line for line translation doesn’t quite work, as you can see above. This is more of a general translation than a direct word for word translation.

Is this cap

I too want the translation so I can brush up on my Fuckwit. Still not available in Duolingo!

No cap seems to mean “no lie”. So it maybe means “I swear to god, you are talking shit right now for real”. Bit I don’t know.

Fo shizzle.

On god, you cappin’ rn fr
“Honestly, you are lying right now for real”
A hater gets caught lackin’ in the crib and you think that’s my vibe
“Someone who doesn’t like me get caught without enough to defend themselves in the house, and you think that what I’m about/like”
Deadass, I’m bussin’.
“…in all seriousness, I’m great/fantastic/amazing.”

Interesting as the second caption should be I am the one who knocks right?
redbeardgecko@lemmy.world 11 months ago
It was pretty funny on an unintended meta level because the Italian verb for knocking is “bussare.”

Is it cap because of capslock or what is the origin?

It’s believed to have been a part of black American slang for decades, possibly from the term “high-capping” which essentially means bragging. Rapper E-40 used the term in his 1995 song “Da Bumble”.

“Cap” is short for “captions”, in reference to people lying in the captions of their social media posts.

Nah Skylar’s response is just “cap”

He was a pretty big crybaby for being “the one who knocks”.

Somehow, we’re using the same language.

Fr this made me really understand how cringe the original was. Thank you.

What did you find to be cringe about it?
thoughtfuldragon@lemmy.blahaj.zone 11 months ago
He’s trying to sound cool and dangerous but he’s a man dying of cancer slowly getting himself in deeper and deeper trouble with no way out. He’s desperate.

Remember when comic artists and cartoonists would make up some outlandish slang for a character and it was supposed to make fun of millennials, but we thought that was stupid too?
Gen Z actually talk like that.
dependencyinjection@discuss.tchncs.de 11 months ago
I know you probably joking but as a millennial I kinda hate this take.
Every generation used words that our elders didn’t and every future generation will continue to do so and I support that.
In fact I like to try and learn the new words as it’s cool to know what’s happening. Don’t use them though else the kids will cringe.
DragonTypeWyvern@midwest.social 11 months ago
Do use them though, because it makes the kids cringe
Fades@lemmy.world 11 months ago
It’s okay, I hate your take :)
Yes we all know language evolves, nobody is saying the kids can’t use new slang and words. That’s simply a part of the human experience regardless of age.
The dislike of this kind of talk is more than just “what was cool is now not and the kids have the new cool and I hate it because it’s not my cool”.
I know it makes an easy strawman for you to slap down but there is valid criticism and some of these terms are already dated as fuck, further reducing the cultural and linguistic impact which is your whole thing apparently.
The comment you replied to isn’t simply talking about new words and slang, it’s about the fucked grammar, the fr frs, etc. The kids aren’t speaking gospel, why raise them up on a pedestal as the drivers of linguistic evolution?
Is “Skibidi what the sigma Ohio” some deep wisdom to you?

I don’t have a problem with new slang in general - it’s interesting to see what new words become popular. Sometimes, though, I just don’t like them. I never got used to “yeet” and still dislike it.
AVincentInSpace@pawb.social 11 months ago
do they? maybe i’m hanging out in the wrong places but the only place i’ve ever seen this sort of “slang” is posts mocking Gen Z
fsxylo@sh.itjust.works 11 months ago
I’ve got some coworkers that fit this meme pretty well. Though I do admit they may be among the… slower … of their generation.

No they don’t. My Zoomer son and his friends mock this bs savagely.
