Fluid ounces are a measure of volume, or how much of something fits somewhere. For example, a 6-oz. coffee cup holds 6 fluid ounces of coffee.
Dry ounces are a measure of weight, or how heavy something is. For example, four sticks of butter weight 1 pound.
It should be noted that butter is the only thing that has the same number of fluid ounces (2 cups = 16 fluid ounces) as dry ounces (1 lb = 16 dry ounces).
