capped
The following conversation fictitiously took place among high skool girls flooding a member of their clique with questions about her dating experience:
"Was he hard? D'you see the guy got capped? How close were you?"
What is the meaning of "capped" in the present context?
Also, I was wondering what the difference between "murmur" and "mutter" is.
Last question (on this thread), how is it legit to call fingerprints "latent?" I mean, of course there not going to be visible or evident, that's why you need forensics to collect them. Unless it's a different level of invisibility...
I would have to see the context. They could be inquiring as to whether he was circumcised.
And yes, it is possible to see fingerprints, especially on glass or dusty surfaces (hence "dusting" for prints).
"They could be inquiring as to whether he was circumcised. "
That was my guess too. Thanks

Mutter implies somewhat clenched teeth and constricted mouth.
"Mutter" has a connotation of being a negative remark said out of frustration rather than with intent of having it be heard. "Murmur", however, has a connotation of being of low volume so as to be more intimate.
