MOC is an acronym for My Own Creation and is typically pronounced just like the word "mock", although once in a while you'll hear people say "em-oh-cee". A MOC is something built of LEGO elements without using instructions provided in a set or idea book (aka stock model). Usually an original creation, the term is often used to describe copies of another person's creation.

The term is used frequently in discussion within the ALE community.

There is a site called MOCpages that offers a place to host writeups (with embedded references to Brickshelf hosted images) about MOCs.

There is a group on LUGNET called announce.moc where people announce their MOCs.
