Here's the the description coming straight from the
wow website:

Grinding - Staying in the same area fighting the same types of monsters for a very long time.
Raid - A raid is a large-scale attack on an area by a group of players.

To be precise, in WOW a raid is any group between 6 and 40 person. Raids are multiple regular groups merged into one big group called a raid. You can't enter regular dungeons, only massive dungeons balanced for raids.
Some raids are pretty much one big monster, like Onyxia. Others are a series of bosses with a handfull of filler mobs in between, like Molten Core. Others are more balanced boss/monster wise, like Zul'Gurub. Some raid bosses are actually outside in the overworld, but require a raid to take down, mainly Dragons.
Farming isn't in their lexicon. It's like grinding, but with the purpose of getting something "physical". You farm gold, loot. You grind xp. It can be interchangable.
