LOC – What does LOC stand for?

One of the most found explanations of the acronym or abbreviation LOC is “Line of Credit” while in the medical environment it usually is an abbreviation of “Loss of Consciousness” or “Level of Consciousness”. But, as usual, there are numerous other meanings to be found, just check out the list below.

“Line of Credit” is the financial definition of LOC.  This is a standing amount of credit that the customer of a bank may have available at any given time. A financial LOC (Line of Credit) may be called a revolving credit as well. So a line of credit (LOC) is a set amount of money, like a loan, that the bank is extending to the customer. The following video explains a lot:

The bank’s customer may draw upon the line of credit, provided the amount doesn’t exceed the LOC’s limit. The customer needs to pay back the borrowed amount on the LOC within a specific timeframe and at a specific interest rate. Unlike loans, only the actual money drawn on the LOC is charged with interest. To give you an example, if a customer has a $30k LOC but draws just $10k, he is charged interest only on the $10k.

But there are more meanings. As an adjective, LOC can also take the meaning if “uncool”, or displeasing, like “lack of coolness.” Here is an example sentence: “I don’t feel like going to that loc dance party tonight” or “That girl is so loc”. In this sort of meanings, LOC compares to poor, bad, common, sucks, and generally displeasing. LOC can also refer to a crazy individual, a shortened way of saying “loco”.

As a noun, LOC can also stand for “gangster” and have a similar meaning as criminal or hooligan. LOC can, usually in street race locations, be the informal and shortened form of “location” like in “Do you feel like coming with me scouting some good locs for next week’s ride?” We can also see LOC used in ComicBase. In this environment, LOC stands for “Letter of Comment” when someone of name writes a letter to the comic and they publish it in that issue.

But there are also a few more commonly used meanings of the abbreviation LOC.
