Original character, usually used as a fanfic or roleplay term to mean a non-canon character made up by the author or roleplayer.
Mostly either a from of the creator themselves, or someone else they made up and are usually beautiful and/or powerful.

1 (fanfiction) Most OCs wreak stories when they are centered around them, simply because no one cares about a character that someone else made up. Also, OCs are usually paired with whomever the author happens to have a crush on. Usually, OCs are unoriginal, and people get bored of them. OCs as background or semi-main characters in a story can make it good, though, if the author knows how and when to use them.

2 (roleplay) Roleplay with OCs can be fun, especially if it's an all OC forum. but if there are too many OCs on a canon forum, then it can be annoying. Especially if there is a person obsessed with their OC
Her writing style is so good, I would love her stories if her OC wasn't in all of them.

All of his story's are all about his OC.

If they're were not so many stories with OCs, then good fanfiction would be easier to find.

That story was so good. Sure, it had OCs, but they weren't the main characters and really helped the plot.

There's this one girl in roleplay who's obsessed with her OC, and she ruins it for us all.

A GREAT show on Fox that revolves around rich beautiful teenagers and their rich beautiful parents. Obviously they have problems, a little over the top, but still, it's one of the best shows on TV.
People who say things like "it's the decline of american society" can go to hell since they're taking their time off to tell it off.
person: oh, do you watch the OC?
person2: uhh, no, it's so cliche, and gay.
person: ..have you ever seen it?
person2: no, but i hate it, that's enough for me.

Someone who, whether conscious of it or not, is living a life similar to those on the television show, The OC. It is a derogatory term for those who are living (or attempting to live) the 'high life.' This person is loosely reminiscent of a prep.

Father: I'm proud of you son

Abbreviation of "Out of Country"; commonly used when being less than inconspicuous with persons whom one trusts, to describe a trip out of the country to pick up copious amounts of illicit drugs for retail sale in the home country, or simply to secure a connect or a business arrangement; more specific than OT (Out of Town), since the aforementioned term can describe a trip out of one's city of residence to another city, state, or country, whereas "OC" literally means crossing international borders.
I'm gonna be OC for a week on something, we can deal with this when I get back.

DEA Investigator: Where is Mr. Barksdale?

A show that is horrifically innacurate and contains mind-numbingly bad acting, yet is shockingly entertaining every week. All the people who hate on the OC are wannabe non-conformists who rebel against anything "mainstream" and go slit their wrists at night. Stop trying to be cool. We all know you secretly watch it.
Non-Conformist: How can you watch that piece of trash show the OC! It has blonde people and ample amounts of cleavge so I must rebel against it!


Me: Oh ya. It was pretty cool when Seth and Zack had a fight last episode

Non-Conformist: OMG! Ya totally I was so shocked, I mean-...uh, I don't watch that. *sigh*
