What is bokeh?
When you use a narrow depth of field, there is a significant amount of blurring of the background, and some lenses are more keen about this blur than others. Bokeh is a Japanese term meaning "blur" and it refers to the aesthetics of the blurred background.
Some lenses are much better at this effect than others, and I've found that my 50mm Nikkor is quite excellent at it, but the kit lens sucks. There's some skill required too, as you need to have good focus and good lighting, and the key is always narrow DoF.
