Client-side refers to things that can eb disabled by the user or "client". Ragdolls are client-side because the user can choose to turn them on or off, but it isn't the same for all people. I could have ragdolls turned off and not see any bodies but you could have them on and you WOULD see the ragdoll for the same dead thing.

Client side things happen entirely on your computer and are generally not checked by the server. Generally things that are done client side have little to no impact on the game, such as ragdolls, or graphical effects. Server side things are done by the server, and communicated to every client (ie. your computer and the other players computers). This consists of player health and inventory, and other things that need to be exactly the same for all players.

This is the more correct definition and much better than the first one given
