ive been playing poker for a while now, and this is probably the most common term i don't know the meaning of.
What is a 3bet? I gather its 3 times the pot or something similar?

bet = 1bet
raise = 2bets
reraise = 3bets

on the flop, its HU between me and you.
I act first.
I bet 10.
You raise to 25.
I 3-bet to 45.
You fold.
I show rags.

You mean the revolver, sir?
Precisely.

most commonly used in limit poker,where the betting amounts are set. In NL people will just say "he re-raised to $50" because it matters a lot if the guy min raised you, or raised you AI

it's a limit term that many people (myself included) use for NL to sound cool, or something like that.
It's just the 3rd bet on a given street, completely independent of size. So a reraise on the flop, turn, or river would constitute a '3-bet.'
Preflop tricks a lot of people because technically the blind is the first bet, so a raise would be a 2-bet, and the second raise would be a 3-bet (like the other streets). Just assume the big blind is the first bet and everything is simple.
