VLC

Very Little Contact. All variants: Very Low/Little Contact/Communication. Similar to NC. Used in the context of a relationship, when someone limits communication in order to avoid the toxic behavior of another person. Normally used in the context of a familial relationship.

My step-mother and I are VLC, already. We talk maybe three or four times a year. I can't bear it and try to do it over the phone, whenever possible. She always criticizes my appearance, when we meet in person, no matter what I do.

AITA

Acronym for "Am I the asshole?". 1) A legitimate query. Usually the opening of a lively debate. 2) Also, it can be used in a sarcastic tone to indicate that it is truly someone else who is being mean or unreasonable.

1)My neighbor walked his dog over to my lawn. The dog pooped and the neighbor didn't clean it up. I brood. A few days later, I see it happen again. This time, I grab the stool with a plastic bag and rub it all over the neighbor's door on a hot summer day. Was this right or AITA? 2)My neighbor walked his dog over to my lawn. The dog pooped and the neighbor didn't clean it up. A few days later, I politely ask him to clean up after his pet. He explodes and calls me an asshole. Like, really, AITA?
