"Dry" refers to the amount of vermouth in the martini. Dry means very little to no vermouth.
There was an episode of M*A*S*H where Hawkeye was trying to describe to a bartender how dry he wanted his martini.
"I'd like a dry martini, Mr. Quoc, a very dry martini. A very dry, arid, barren, desiccated, veritable dustbowl of a martini. I want a martini that could be declared a disaster area. Mix me just such a martini." -- Hawkeye Pierce, from the episode "There Is Nothing Like a Nurse"
