I've always heard the expressions "registered democrat" or "registered republican", but never knew what they are talking about. How do you register as anything?

It depends on the state. Some states use a "closed primary" system. If one wishes to vote in the Democratic primary, then one must be registered as a Democrat.
There are other systems, including "semi-closed" and "open" primaries.
