Merriam-Webster’s 2025 word of the year is “slop.” The word was first used in the 1700s to mean soft mud. It evolved more generally to mean something of little value.

    (Wait… isn’t that “no cap”? By asking, I may have just broken the coolness of the trend, and I am okay with that.)

      “To cap” is to lie, to exaggerate, to bullshit. It can be also used as a noun; “that’s cap” = “that’s bullshit”. Originally AAVE slang.

      So “no cap” = “honestly, saying the truth”.

      I understood that “no cap + rizz” as “seriously, this is cool”.
