    I think it refers to a cap (hat), because culturally when you take off your cap it means you are being truthful. Similar to the term “hat in hand”

    I looked into it more and seems like the origins of cap meaning to lie is unclear. So looks like I was off base

      I thought it referred to the “kappa” emote on twitch which conveys sarcasm (/s basically), so no cap = no sarcasm intended.
