What is a subnet in computer networking?

Was talking to one of the IT guys at work today and he mentioned that he had to work on something called a subnet. I tried Googling it but found myself even more confused on its definition.

Subnetwork, part of a network.

Imagine a city. A district would be a subnet of that city, a street would be a subnet of that district, etc. Same thing except with a network of computers (the internet is such a network for instance, just a bunch of computers connected together).

The statement “working on a subnet” doesn’t really mean anything though.
