« Back to Glossary Index

The internet slang term “Starter Cap” refers to someone who starts a conversation or sparks a topic but then disappears or fails to engage further. It signifies a person who initiates a discussion but quickly loses interest or abandons it without giving much input or response.

Examples:

1. Person A: Hey everyone, I just saw this amazing movie last night! I highly recommend it!
Person B: Oh, which movie was it?
Person A: Umm, I forgot the name. It was good though.
Person C: It would have been helpful if you remembered the name to discuss it further.
Person A: Yeah, I guess so. Anyway, never mind.

2. Person X: Can anyone help me with this coding problem I’m having?
Person Y: Sure, what seems to be the issue?
Person X: I’m getting an error in my code, but I can’t figure out why.
Person Y: Alright, could you share your code so I can take a look?
Person X: I don’t think it’s necessary right now. I’ll figure it out myself.
Person Y: Alright, just let me know if you need any assistance later.

In these examples, “Person A” and “Person X” initiate a conversation or seek help but fail to sustain or actively participate in the discussion, leaving others hanging or feeling unproductive.
