it tells you how horrible is your connection:
25 = really good

50 = good

100 = OK

150 = works fine

200 = problems start...

....


1000 = you got to be kidding me

2000 = LEAVE NOW !

3000 = Don't say I didn't warn you !

4000 = OMG ! you cannot play like this !

5000 = WAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!!!!!!

Ping = The time in milli seconds it takes for the server to respond to your action (eg moving the mouse)  eg 35 ping = .35seconds.
You will see everyones ping on the server if you press Tab while playing

Ping is a measure of the "Lag" in the server.

35 in miliseconds is .035 not .35

I think that your definition is correct and your example is wrong.

in my understanding, 35 ping is .035 second lag.

I believe that the term itself originated from the sonar that submarines use to navigate and determine distances to thing like say ocean floors or Ruskies.

it's the time in milliseconds it takes for your information to reach the server and come back.it's very important,because you can see how even just .2 seconds can be the difference between a kill and a miss.try to play on servers where your ping is less than 100 for best results.

Ping is the time, in milliseconds, that it takes for a packet to be sent to the server and returned to the client.
