System - among many other things - refers to the collective of alters within one body inhabited by multiple people.
The context is almost always the highly stigmatized mental disorders D.I.D. (Dissociative Identity Disorder) or O.S.D.D. (Otherwise Specified Dissociative Disorder) which both share the defining symptom of multiple alternate states of conciousnesses, colloquially referred to as alters or "multiple personalities". These alters often have different memories, abilities, etc. and can be just as different and well-defined as any other people in the world.

Get the unity's particle system mug.System D is a shorthand term that refers back to the French word débrouillard, (one who is) skilled or resourceful at handling any difficulty. System D refers to a manner of responding to challenges that requires one to have the ability to think fast, to adapt, and to improvise when getting the job done.
The term gained popularity after appearing in the 2006 publication of Anthony Bourdain's The Nasty Bits. Bourdain's sous-chef likens the use of System D to being a modern-day MacGyver ... getting the job done with a mix of whatever resources are available and a great deal of personal innovation.
In The Nasty Bits, Bourdain references first coming upon the term while reading Nicolas Freeling's memoir, The Kitchen, written about Freeling's years as a Grand Hotel cook in France.

Get the System D mug.Originally used by computers to store information (using only 0's and 1's) (see above), this two digit system has been co-opted (often, but not exclusively, by men) and used as a tool to assess others' appearance (often, but not exclusively females').
The "binary" procedure of assigning a numeric value to someone's appearance assumes that one thing, and one thing alone matters: whether or not the assessor would have sexual intercourse with the person being assessed. Thus, "1" implies that the ranker would, given the opportunity, indeed have sex with the person in question while "0" implies that he/she would not.
Many practitioners of this system claim that it is the most honest measurement of someone's attractiveness, because its measurements are completely straightforward--there is no in-between. Fractions are implicitly forbidden in the binary system, and even hesitant tones and vocal slants are frowned upon during the ranking process, as they undermine the absolute nature of the system.
One might call into question the veracity of the system based on the differing moral standards and social norms of its varied practitioners, but that is, I believe, beyond the scope of this definition.

Jim: "Yuck, Biff's new girlfriend is definitely a 0"
Skip: "Well then Jim, I guess it's good that Biff, not you, is dating her"

The most telling sign that America is doomed is the unending transfer of energy and resources from intact nuclear families to promiscuous fickle single mothers of (often) multiple children from different equally degenerate absent fathers; the systemic dysgenics of social welfare is proliferating and incentivizing r-selected behavior in an ecosystem already in peril.
