1) Where you go to talk with other sophisticated beings like yourself for free on your own personal computer.

2) The place where dreams will become a reality and your life will be forever enjoyable.

3) A colossal time waster.
Joe Luser was looking for other arrogant assholes to talk with so he started up mIRC.

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).

1. I was chatting on IRC last night and this guy sent me a whole bunch of porn.

2. The IRC is a mish-mash of all kinds of drivel that supposedly imposes an income tax.

IRC Internet Relay Chat is a virtual meeting place where people from all over the world can meet and talk; you'll find the whole diversity of human interests, ideas, and issues here, and you'll be able to participate in group discussions on one of the many thousands of IRC channels, on hundreds of IRC networks, or just talk in private to family or friends, wherever they are in the world.
IRC is a great place to hang out and talk.

A place where you can't speak freely and the opers/admins ban you, then you just ban walk them with proxies/bnc's then continue to flame them until someone does a DDoS attack with icmp, udp, or SYN on them.
