    Is cap short for something, or just a random word selected here?

      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
