Here I will try to maintain a drush cheat sheet with the list of drush commands I use most often. Full and short version of commands are used interchangeably.

See main information and status of the site

drush status

Clear the cache

drush cc all

Clear the cache, even if Drupal is broken

drush sql-query "DELETE FROM cache"

sql-query executes sql queries in the database where Drupal is installed.

Download the last recommended release of 2 modules

drush dl module1 module2

Download a -dev version of a module

drush dl views-7.x-3.x --package-handler=git_drupalorg

Seems that adding --package-handler=git_drupalorg is not needed anymore.

Download the git HEAD version of a module
Short answer: drush does not do that.
Long answer: See http://drupal.stackexchange.com/q/62934/10086

Enable a module

drush en name_of_module -y

-y skips the confirmation question. Some drush commands may miss the -y part, a workaround for this that always works is putting it before:

drush -y en name_of_module

If the module is missing and its name matches a project name, drush will automatically download the module from drupal.org.

Disable a module

drush dis name_of_module

Disable a module, even if Drupal is broken

drush sql-query "UPDATE system SET status = '0' WHERE name = 'module_name'"
drush sql-query "DELETE FROM cache_bootstrap WHERE cid = 'system_list'"

Source: https://drupal.org/node/157632

Uninstall a module

drush pm-uninstall module_name -y

See if a module is available

drush pm-list | grep module_name

drush pm-list --status=enabled | grep module_name

drush pm-list --type=Module --no-core --status=enabled

Delete a field

drush field-delete fieldname

Delete an instance of a field

drush field-delete fieldname --bundle=article

Manually delete a field and all its data (not recommended)

drush sql-query "DELETE FROM field_config WHERE field_name = 'fieldname'"
drush sql-query "DELETE FROM field_config_instance WHERE field_name =' fieldname'"
drush sql-query "DROP TABLE field_data_field_fieldname"

drush ws

drush ws --tail

Run a php script with Drupal bootstrapped

drush scr --uri=domain.com script.php

Use --uri to specify the host name. Use --root to specify the site directory (in cron, for example):

/usr/bin/drush --root=/var/www/drupal scr /var/www/drupal/sites/all/scripts/example.php >>/root/logs/scripts/example_log.txt 2>>/root/logs/scripts/example_errors.txt
Run custom code

drush eval "variable_set('foo', 'bar');"

Repopulate database tables used by menu functions

drush eval "menu_rebuild();"

See https://api.drupal.org/...

Rescan all code in modules or includes directories, storing the location of each interface or class in the database

drush eval "registry_rebuild();"

Useful when moving installed modules. See http://drupal.stackexchange.com/q/17657/10086
If does not work because Drupal cannot bootstrap, do it that way:

drush dl registry_rebuild
drush rr
