What is a P&P RPG?

Hey, I've seen this Pen and Paper stuff on a lot of forums, but I can't find the meaning of it anywhere. Could anyone tell me what it means?

Thanks

It's when you get together with your friends to play RPG with pen & paper as the name indicates

So not the PC games, but in real life, you sit down and imagine what your character would do in certain situations made up by the DM (GM? Game Master or something, the one who supervises the fights and leads the storyline).

Think of it as traditional Role Playing. Players in this case take control of everything regarding the character: Tallying the numbers, stats, making sure skills are in order, rolling the dice, and so on and so forth.
