What the heck is ESR?

What is "ESR" and what does it have to do with capacitors? I worked with electronics as a hobby almost all my life (until I had to give it up, except for computer-aided amateur radio, when I moved to my apartment 20 years ago--long story and OT), and am completely baffled by this abbreviation. Is this something some electronics whiz kid in California came up with a few years ago, which eventually caught on and stuck (I say California because that state is where most trends, expressions, etc. in common use these days get their start, then eventually sweep the country), or just what the heck is it?

Thank you.
