MOC stands for "My Own Creation".

MOC

My Own Creation. Any LEGO creation designed and built by a LEGO fan without instructions. Generally pronounced “mock.”*

Found at this Lego glossary.

Brickipedia's version from their own glossary:

MOC - My Own Creation, a fan- made LEGO model

*A side note: There may be some LEGO fans who pronounce "MOC" the way the individual letters are pronounced - effectively saying "Em-Oh-See".

You could note the grammatical conflict--I hear "a MOC" alot, given that people pronounce it as "MOCK," but I personally say "an MOC" and pronounce it "EM-OH-SEE." – Purmou Oct 29 '11 at 7:08
@Purmou Thanks for the tip! – PeterDC Oct 29 '11 at 14:20
