Straight up means pour into a pint glass and swish the ingredients around a bit with some ice, then drain into a chilled stem glass, or cocktail glass. Don't use the metal mixer though, makes it taste bad. Just use a pint glass and the strainer.
On the rocks means use a smaller glass known as a rocks glass and pour the ingredients directly over the ice and stir a couple of times with a straw.

Some other vocabulary: Neat means served with no ice and not mixed; Shaken means the ingredients are poured into a shaker with ice, mixed vigorously and poured into a glass. In a stirred drink, the ice and ingredients are put in a mixing glass and stirred for 10 seconds before they're poured into a glass.
