an acronym for "Out of Character".
Frequently used in one of two situations:
1. in role-playing, indicating that a person is making a comment, suggestion, etc., that isn't coming from the character but from the person him- or herself.
2. in fanfiction, signaling that the way the author chose to portray the characters (or perhaps unintentionally portrayed them) may not be consistent with how the characters act, think, or speak in the original work on which the fanfiction is based.
OOC is most often used as an adjective, but can also be used as an adverb or, in less common cases, a verb.

((I'll just step OOC for a second here to say that roleplaying isn't evil and it's not a cult. It's a game.))

an acronym that means Out Of Control, but it is pronounced like it is spelled. most of the time it is when you have spent all day drinking and dont remember the last 5 hours of your day. During this blackout phase you literally lose control of your judgement and say and do whatever you want especially if it is in your worst interest.
tony- i dont know what happened last night, but i woke up in a jail cell.
mike- yeah you OOCing out last night, you were hitting on some bouncer's girlfriend and when they threw you out you started throwing snow balls at them.
