Parliamentary democracy is:
A democracy is a political system in which the supreme power lies in a body of citizens who can elect people to represent them, or even run the country themselves (as in the ancient Greek democracies).
The "Parliamentary" part refers to a political system based around parliament. That is, the executive and legislative parts of the government are connected- typically, the Prime Minister (or Chancellor, President, Premier, etc) is selected from the political party that controls the parliament, and he (and his cabinet) is responsible directly to the legislature. There is also typically a separate "head of state" who is considered the person who represents the country as a single person, but does not actually run the government in any meaningful way (an example is the Queen of the United Kingdom, or the President of Germany).
The Parliamentary system is contrasted with the Presidential system (used in, for example, the US) where the executive (President) is the head of state and is totally separate from the legislative (Congress). There is also a "Semi-Presidential" system (used mainly in France and Russia) which functions a lot like a Parliamentary, but the Head of State (usually a President) also helps run the government. In France, for example, the President handles foreign and military policy while the Prime Minister and the cabinet handles pretty much everything else.
