Usage notes

  • In the US, the abbreviation MC can have a special social meaning from the point of view of the outlaw (a.k.a. one-percenter) subculture, and is usually reserved by them for those clubs that are mutually recognized by other MC clubs. This is indicated by wearing the MC patch on the back of a club jacket or vest.
