[WARNING: lay person's definition follows]
DDoS = distributed denial of service. It is an internet attack on a website, comprised of sending requests/queries to the site in such volumn and speed as to tie up the resources of the server, thus denying service to legimate users. The "distributed" part comes from the hacker's use of others' computers as dummies to make the requests.
