Bust A Cap

Generally thought to mean shooting someone; often used in rap slang.

This is incorrect.

"Bust a cap" comes from 1890-1920 Irish gangs, in New York City. It referred to breaking someone's kneecaps.

MacDonald refused to pay tribute, we had to send our enforer Murphy down there to bust a cap.
