You need to mount the usb first "assuming your on a dvd, vmware, or hard drive install".
First you need to find out what your device is, easy way to do this is to load up gparted, open a console window type gparted and look for the drive / partition that matches your usb. Once you find it take note of label i.e. /dev/*
Lets say for this its /dev/sdb1 we now need to mount it, there is already a folder for usb but you should understand that you can mount a drive to any folder so lets make one. Open another console window and do this.
mkdir /mnt/usb2
Now lets mount it
mount /dev/sdb1 /mnt/usb2
Pretty simple no ? .. lets just check that its mounted
ls /mnt/usb2
And now just feed your application the path to your wordlist like so.
/mnt/usb2/folder/morefilders/wordlist.txt
Enjoy, but im going to say this in closing, if you cant even figure some of the most basic linux operations, you should really consider using another distro for a few weeks first.
