Okay, a narc is someone who tattles on you, it usually means someone who gives info to police, but it's been used for people who "tells on" someone to someone else. It's pronounced with a hard c, like a k sound "nark."
Just so you don't abbreviate narcissism as narc in the future.
No, I have NPD and we're called narcs sometimes. It's often used in the community as a shorthand, but generally if it comes from a neurotypical it's a slur. I'm aware of the other meaning of the word and I don't have a problem with it, but I tend not to use it because it just reminds me of the homonym which is actually offensive.

Now I want to start calling people "narse"s with no context.
