Cascading StyleSheets is a webdesign language used as an extension of XHTML. CSS is meant to define the appearance of a website, while it's structure is defined by HTML. It is thus called because it uses stylesheets, external files whose properties are applied to the relevent sections of a website. They are 'cascading' because of the CSS rule of specificity.
CSS allows us to apply standard formatting to an entire website. We could, say, apply the selector "title" to every title, and then define it as bold in the external stylesheet. In this way, changing a single line in a single file will update the entire website.

I spent thirty Euros on this DVD about the Bush Administration's corruption, and it won't play in the United States -- it must be the CSS.

Someone who codes CSS (cascading style sheets) either professionally or as a hobby.
It is not uncommon for a CSS slinger to see the world in CSS code. For instance, a CSS slinger might see a red stop sign as ".stopsign { background: #ff000; color: #fff; }"
