You can blame Dire Maul for that one. We used to call Deadmines "DM" but had to switch it to "VC" when Dire Maul was released in a patch.

PUG: Pick-up Group, a group formed randomly instead of being organized by a guild. These can sometimes go well, but they're reknowned for often ending badly
DPS: Damage per second, a measure of how effective you are in combat. DPS can also refer to player class that specializes in dealing damage (as opposed to tanking or healing), such as a rogue or mage.
Capital City abbreviations:
Alliance
SW: Stormwind
IF: Ironforge
Darn: Darnassus
Horde:
Org: Orgrimmar
UC: Undercity
TB: Thunderbluff
SM: Silvermoon -- SM can also refer to Scarlet Monestary, a level 35-40 dungeon

Also, if you see someone use the word "rogue" ... that's just WoW lingo for "win."
