"Someone who doesn't like me gets caught without enough to defend themselves in the house, and you think that's what I'm about/like"
Deadass, I'm bussin'.

4 0 Replyredbeardgecko @lemmy.world It was pretty funny on an unintended meta level because the Italian verb for knocking is "bussare."

Iapar @feddit.de Is it cap because of capslock or what is the origin?
2 0 Replychetradley @lemmy.world 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".

Death_Equity @lemmy.world "Cap" is short for "captions", in reference to people lying in the captions of their social media posts.
