caps lock
caps lock
Noun
pl: caps locks
This term refers specifically to the hardware key or the software state of a keyboard. It is used almost exclusively in technical or computing contexts. Because it is a compound noun describing a specific functional tool, it is rarely used in a metaphorical sense.
In digital communication, mentioning the caps lock often carries a connotation of accidental aggression or "shouting," as typing in all capitals is widely perceived as an equivalent to yelling in written form.
