Clarification: /me

So... I recently used a certain /me in a comment post recently... and it has caught on rather fast. I'm sure most people have no idea what it means, however, and that is why I'm here!
/me is used in the chat client of a game called The Kingdom of Loathing to italicize your name and following words, making it appear as if you were completing an "action" (ex: "/me takes a bath" would become "Jeremy takes a bath").
Note that you can also use /em (which I prefer better).
Have fun using it!
EDIT: It appears that you can do this in IRC as well. Just a handy tidbit of information.
