Someone in cap mode has fully committed to lying — not slipping up once, but operating on a sustained frequency of dishonesty, exaggeration, or revisionist storytelling. Cap mode isn't a single lie; it's a behavioral state. They've stopped caring whether you believe them. The claims keep coming, each more unhinged than the last, and no amount of evidence seems to break the spell. Calling someone out for being in cap mode is both an accusation and an observation: this person has chosen fiction over reality and they're not coming back anytime soon.
He's been in full cap mode all week — every story he tells gets bigger each time he repeats it.
