Unc is a casual slang term short for "uncle," but it's often used more broadly to refer to an older male figure with experience, wisdom, or swagger, whether or not he's your actual uncle. In many cases, "unc" is a respectful or playful nickname for someone who's seen as a mentor, OG (original gangster), or just the older guy in the crew who still has style. It became popular in hip-hop culture and online communities in the 2010s, spreading through memes, rap lyrics, and social media.
People use "Unc" both affectionately and humorously. For example, you might hear someone say, "Unc still got it," when a middle-aged guy drains a three-pointer at the gym or shows up looking sharp. Athletes, especially in the NBA and NFL, sometimes call older teammates or coaches "Unc," and it's not uncommon to see the term thrown around on Twitter or TikTok when a public figure gives off "cool uncle" vibes.
