Uncle
An uncle is the brother of a person's father or mother; or the husband of the child's aunt, this is one case where in-law is not used. The term "uncle" is sometimes also used as a more generic one, particularly in address, for a more distant relative, or even for a friend of the family who is not related, but is trusted (by the parents) to act in a familial role. Children in particular are often taught to use "Uncle" as a title of address for any male adult in one of these categories.
- Avuncular (adjective) - of, pertaining to, or characteristic of an uncle: avuncular affection.

Aunts and uncles in spanking art
In spanking stories and spanking art, a child is sometimes spanked by an uncle or aunt instead of his or her parents. The role of an uncle or aunt is somewhat more distant than that of a parent, but not as distant as a teacher or a complete stranger. Children are sometimes given in a temporary guardianship to uncles and/or aunts, which puts these relatives in a in loco parentis situation in which they are permitted and expected to behave like parents to the child.
To cry uncle
To cry uncle is an expression to surrender and often the goal in spanking stories to get the spankee to say uncle to end a play spanking or a tickle attack.
