This is very OT. Please read the GnuPG Privacy Handbook which can be 
found at www.gnupg.org.

But to answer your question 'pub' means 'public key' and 'uid' means 
'user identity'. You can have several user identities for the same key. 
In your case you have two user identities, your word address and your 
home address.
