The big end is the end of a connecting rod that rides on the crankshaft. The bearing is the machined surface that rides, with a film of oil, around the crankshaft The small or little end is the other end of the connecting rod, which rides on the piston's wrist pin.
MP: I think this is mostly wrong:
On older V8 engines the main bearing cap nearest the flywheel contained an oil seal. Because of this larger size it was sometimes referred to as the big end bearing.

What happens when rod bearings are to tight?
When rod bearing clearance is too tight the end result is what is called a spun bearing -- definitely a bad thing. Bearing clearance is the difference between the inside diameter of the bearing and the outside diameter of the crankshaft journal to which it is clamped. The bearing is supplied pressurized oil fed by the oil pump, it should never touch the crankshaft journal but should always float on a wedge of oil. If the clearance is too tight the bearing touches or drags on the crankshaft journal and the journal grabs the bearing and spins it inside the housing into which it is clamped -- which in the case of a rod bearing is the big end of the connecting rod. Once this happens it all pretty much self destructs as it chews up the big end of the connecting rod and the crankshaft journal as well.

What is end bearing?
There are multiple uses of the term in the construction field, but end bearing is a term which usually specifies that a member (a floor joist for example) is resting on or abuting a vertical member (a load bearing wall for example). The more the end bearing (the area of vertical wall contacting the separate member) the more the load can be distributed evenly. In the example given, if the horizontal member supported more weight than the end bearing capacity, it could crush the sill of the load bearing wall and cause the system to fail.
