There is none. If you choose to claim you are a non-binary neuter, you willingly forfeit the right to aunt or uncledom.

Nibling sounds food related.

Considering family relationships are (historically) mostly dictated by biological sex, it is not really weird that many languages miss gender-neutral versions for those words.

Many languages actually have much more specific terms, depending on whether the family member is on the paternal or maternal side of the family and I am pretty sure it can branch even further.

Funny story because I for some reason love being a joke to you people...

I have a big brother from Big Brothers and Big Sisters. Well he stayed close and still are. Well my Big Brother and his wife only have sisters. And so his twin daughter thought siblings of their parents were Aunts... My name is Terry and when they were younger, they couldn't say Terry...

So... And I can't believe I am posting this here... For years... I was called Aunt Sherry in that house....

The part where I clearly stated he was a big brother from Big Brothers and Big Sisters.

Indeed, that does not really mean anything to me beyond the meaning of the individual words.

Considering its a major organization in the USA for kids that are missing a parent, shows the issue is with you.

Aunt and Uncle are gender neutral. These terms refer to as person's biological sex, not their social behaviors.

Nichtcrawler's a dirry furriner, though. Major organizations in the US aren't necessary as well known in Europeland.

it's just nicht once again, after over a decade, using an american website while continuing to be completely ignorant to almost any american custom lol

it's not a problem to do that but why not just google something first instead of constantly pointing out you aren't american on an american based website

There's no part of that story that I would laugh at (derisively). It's a cute story, and I got mad respect for that program.

Was I supposed to do homework and try to pass as American? I thought trying to pass as a member of another culture was frowned upon over there?

For that I would need to realize it was an organizations. I read it as I have older brothers, but no older sisters. So I interpreted as "big bro" being the only brother and being older than hypnox, the oldest sister.

The capitalization should have tipped you off to that. It's not a perfect indicator, since many use it inappropriately or don't use it at all, but it's at least a starting point.

As an actual answer, probably combinations. "Sibling of Parent", "Spouse of Sibling of Parent" and "Friend of Parent".

Literally no one is going to use any of those in actual conversation.
