From Jargon File (4.3.1, 29 Jun 2001) [jargon]:

  IRC /I-R-C/ n. [Internet Relay Chat] A worldwide "party line" network
     that allows one to converse with others in real time. IRC is structured
     as a network of Internet servers, each of which accepts connections from
     client programs, one per user. The IRC community and the {Usenet} and
     {MUD} communities overlap to some extent, including both hackers and
     regular folks who have discovered the wonders of computer networks. Some
     Usenet jargon has been adopted on IRC, as have some conventions such as
     {emoticon}s. There is also a vigorous native jargon, represented in this
     lexicon by entries marked `[IRC]'. See also {talk mode}.
