Can VTOL aircraft also be called STOL aircraft

I've been wondering since VTOL doesn't need runway to takeoff and STOL needs very little runway, can't VTOL also be STOL

    Technically, technically... It always technically..., VTOL can't be called an STOL, except you are Lockheed Martin and you try to confuse everybody by stating that your JSF is an STOVL (Shot Takeoff Vertical Landing) like, what the hecc is that thing

    VTOL = Vertical Take Off & Landing
    STOL = Short Take Off & Landing
