Frequently asked questions
What does no cap mean?
No cap means no lie or for real. Cap on its own means a lie.
What does mid mean?
Mid means average or not very good. Saying a movie was mid means it was just okay.
What does lowkey mean?
Lowkey means kind of or secretly, as in I lowkey want pizza. Highkey is the opposite and means openly or really.

Slang changes fast and depends on context, so treat the results as a fun guide rather than an exact translation.
