What does it mean if something is freezer burned?

Chef's answer
Freezer burn is the result of moisture loss from storage in the freezer. It leads to changes in the quality of your food and may result in ice crystals, shriveled produce, and tough, leathery, and discolored meats. Despite the quality changes, freezer burnt food is safe to eat.
