A LOT of people don't know what it is. It's not something that's exactly popular, well-known, or mainstream.

Cosplay is short for costume play, and is basically making and wearing costumes of characters you like. It's not at all restricted to anime.

nope. i did HP one time.

I would like to cosplay as Lieutenant Colonel Maes Hughes from FMA, but I probably won't be finding or making a costume anytime soon...

From an entry on www.answers.com
Hughes loves his wife, Gracia, and is absolutely obsessed with his little daughter Elicia and will commonly shove pictures of her into other people's faces to cheer them up, but the fervor of his obsession simply freaks out or annoys most members of the military.

I'd do that, too. 😛

The thread is probably called "what is cosplay" as in "I'm going to explain cosplay to anyone who doesn't already know", not as a question.

Well, there IS a cosplay thread around here, that I started, I believe.

I've done quite a few cosplays....

Lenne from Final Fantasy X-2 (two versions)
Songstress Paine from FFX-2
Raine from FFVIII
Rabi~en~Rose from Di Gi Charat
Chii from Chobits (original designed dress)
Random Jedi from Star Wars

Those are just the ones that I've worn, I've made a few others.

hey ummm.... could you show us some pics of you in them?

ShinobiRikari The Forsaken

OMG you did Chii? I want to see that picture.

Lana mordrem

Chii I didn't get any pictures in because one of my friends decided to try on my ears and broke them 🙄

I'll have to search around and see if I can find pics of all my stuff.

Well hope you get another pair!

Lana mordrem

I made mine, it took about 10 minutes and the stuff costs less than $2, so no big deal, I can easily make another pair 😛

Well good for you!
