Internet Relay Chat. IRC is a chat protocol that can have many people talking in one channel (though messaging another person is normally supported).
IRC is not that hard to set up. You can download a client (or use Java, whatever suits you), then connect to a server, register your name, join a channel, and things go on from there.
Oh, IRC has plenty of noobs. And most of the discussion in IRC is normally just really stupid stuff (see below).
