Masonry bond refers to the pattern of the bricks within a wall. The most basic is running bond, where all brick within a wall are stretchers (laid with the long, narrow face outward).

In English bond, a course of stretchers is followed by a course of header brick, which are laid with their longer edge going back into the wall. This gives the wall a horizontal striped pattern.

In Flemish bond, adjacent bricks in each course alternate between stretcher and header, and the next course is reversed. This gives the wall a diagonally striped pattern.

I'm less certain of this next (because these bond patterns are expensive and rarely used in brick veneer construction), but I believe single vs double Flemish bond refers to the thickness of the wall. Single is actually two wythes of brick (an inside and an outside wythe) where double is three or more wythes thick. This allows the pattern on the inside to be more independent of the outside pattern, and simplifies corners and masonry openings.
