Bulletin Board Code, you snuck an extra C in there.
It's based on HTML; just think of it as formatting instructions for your post. For a more elaborate analogy, imagine a computer reading your post one character at a time looking for instructions. It goes through the letters, numbers, spaces then all of a sudden, "whoa, a square bracket! That means the next thing I see will be instructions!" The first thing it sees inside those square brackets is "img" so it knows the next thing it finds will be the location of an image. After reading the image location it looks for a closing tag (starts with a backslash) to tell it that instruction is done.
Pretty much all BBCode works like that, you open a tag, put something in between, and close it. For example, if you hit reply and quote some of my post you'll see something like '<quote="mrscruff">Wall of text describing my greatness.</quote>', except with square brackets. As you can see, there's an opening tag (or instruction), whatever that tag applies to, and a closing tag (end of instruction).

That's why it's such a good picture, very subtle.
