Google search could have sufficed. This article should give you an understanding what they both stand for.

In layman's term, when your order isn't filled immediately and becomes a part of the order book, then you are a maker, but if your order is executed immediately based on the current price on the order book, then you are a taker.

Short and long funding - if you feel the market is going to be increasing in value and you buy a position then you are going into a LONG position whereas SHORT position is the other way round.
