Haha, no, it has nothing to do with how long your monitor takes to come on. It's the time that any pixel (on that monitor) takes to go from white to black, or black to white. That's why you have to pay attention when buying a cheap monitor, or LCD TV, because they'll try to tell you that it has an 8ms response time, when it doesn't.
How to tell? If it says 8ms G/G, that means that it takes that slow monitor or TV 8ms, just to go from one shade of gray to the next shade of gray. A TRUE 8ms monitor would take about 2ms to do the same.

In technology, response time is the time a system or functional unit takes to react to a given input.
The response time (RT) of a monitor only applied to LCD Monitors and it is measured in milliseconds (ms). RT is a measurement of how quickly a monitor turns a pixel on or off: it measured on black-to-white pixel transitions or active-to-inactive pixel transitions. Lower numbers mean faster transitions and therefore reduces ghosting and jagged pixel effects.
JAGGED or JAGGIES: Stairlike lines that appear where there should be smooth straight lines or curves.
GHOSTING happens with fast moving objects and it's like an instant repeat of the object like a ghost shadow.

alchemist_n_tx has answered it already - just wanted to mention that another popular way of saying it is how fast it can scan and refresh the screen ......
