Something is cap coded when it radiates dishonesty from the jump — every detail feels manufactured, every claim sounds rehearsed, and your instincts are screaming that none of this adds up. Cap coded isn't about proving someone is lying; it's about recognizing the energy of untruth before the receipts even surface. A story can be cap coded. A person can be cap coded. An entire press release can be cap coded. It's the slang equivalent of your gut telling you something is off before your brain catches up.
