What does IBU stand for, and how does it affect the beer?

Matt

P.S. sorry for the lame question, but I'm very new here.
 
International Bitterness Unit. Higher numbers means more bitterness in you beer.
 
Rival, ignore them. It stands for "Iaceo Bibo Usus," meaning "Lying down due to drinking is a good skill to have."

Yes, it is a rough translation, but it works.
