I mostly play horde I had never heard of most of these.
Qft... about the only nickname for us hordies is omgnoobwth... never-ever-ever, have I run an instance or done a raid without hearing this several times(not always directed at me, but yeah...)...

Must just be your server. I've never heard that expression at all ever.
Maybe it's your nickname and everyone knows it.

this indeed means that these names vary upon realms
I can guarantee you they do. They only bleed over on a wide scale when people make threads like these in public forums that don't differentiate realms or even regions. I've heard lots of slang on these boards from EU players that I never heard before, even on the official US boards. Example: I never saw anyone refer to 'heroics' as 'HCs' before I started visiting the wowhead forums. And I've still yet to hear it in-game on a US realm. It's always H:instance for me, or just 'heroics'.

Well is it my fault when they don't listen to me after I say I can't heal and they make me do it anyway?
And besides... I lied.... the "omgwthnoob" and "FML" and "where is the teamwork you damn noobs" is in bg's, not raids or instances...

These typos aren't humorous or entertaining in any way. They're nearly never intentional either. I really don't see the point in even listing them here.

I play on Silvermoon, where our wow-isms have degraded to pure, uncensored adult language. It's weird. There's not much control over there.

First time I saw it I thought it was a throwback to diablo's 'Hardcore' mode. It doesn't make any sense to abbreviate something and add a letter to the abbreviation that doesn't even have emphasis in the word. Maybe 'Hc', but not 'HC'... It just seems
off
to me.

Trial of the patience is one used by my realm only (I think) referring to the first days of Trial of the Champions/Crusaders massive bug fest.
