We use the term "burning" when referring to flash media to mean writing 
the file to the raw media, destroying whatever filesystem was there. 
When inserting that flash media the computer acts as if you inserted a 
CD/DVD, and can boot directly from it.

   dd if=somefile.iso  of=/dev/sdd

It is equivalent to burning to a DVD using burning software. Only a 
single ISO can be burned to a given stick.
