If you find yourself short of money and ask your boss to give you £10 now but take it out of your wages next month (which you haven't earned yet), then you would be borrowing against future earnings.

Similarly in any hire-purchase or mortgage agreement you are borrowing the money to purchase an item (eg. a car or a house), but will be paying that money back (with interest added) out of money you intend to earn in the future.

What does times earnings mean in stocks?

I'm not sure if I fully understand your question. If you mean that a stock is trading "at five times earnings" this means that the price of this stock is five times as high as reported or future earnings of the company. This ratio is calles Price-to-earnings ratio and is a measure for the valuation of a stock. The lower the P/E the cheaper is the stock. The valuation also depends on popularity of the stock, the company's earnings growth and the industry it operates in. I've already answered this question.
