CC

Crowd Control;

Definition
The incapacitation of players or mobs.

Examples

 * "We'll need CC for this encounter."
 * "It's your job to CC this mob."

Mechanics
Sometimes when a pull is too large or powerful, CC is used to temporarily incapacitate one or more of the mobs so they can be dealt with at a later time. This is always planned before the pull, most often with directions given by the tank. CC may also refer to the act of kiting one or more mobs while the rest of the team deals with another.
