2D means 2 dimensional. A drawing is 2 dimensional. Super Mario World is a 2 dimensional game. Skyrim is a 3 dimensional game.

2 dimensional means that an object is in 2 axes at once. For example a square has to be in both the x and y axis. However something 3d, like your body is in 3 axes, the x y and z. 1d is a straight line that is only in the x or y axis.

^excellent answer, though I don't see where you read 2D in discussions.

Anything drawn on paper is considered two dimensional.
