Hello and welcome to the English we speak. I'm Jaiin.

And hello, it's me, Neil.

Neil, you're wearing a dressing gown to work.

You look ready to go to bed, no cap.

Oh, thanks, Jaying.

I'm trying to look really relaxed today, so I put a dressing gown over my suit and of course I'm not wearing a

cap it would look strange with a dressing gown why would you say that no Neil I said no cap we

say no cap when we want to reinforce that what we're saying is the absolute truth.

Ah, so you think I look relaxed then in my dressing gown?

Well, I actually said you look like you're heading to bed but you do look very relaxed.

I'm not sure it's the best thing to wear at work no cap. Oh dear perhaps I should

take it off and just stick to the suit. I think I might look a bit too relaxed.

Good idea. You can do that while we'll listen to these examples.

No cap, they are amazing.

That new song is the best thing I've ever heard. No cap.

No cap. You're the funniest person I know. You always make me laugh.

I don't like those mushrooms. No cap. They taste awful.

You're listening to the English we speak from BBC Learning English

and we're talking about the expression no cap we use no cap to mean

no lie and to say that something is the truth yes we can also say capping to mean lying
