When you mean acronyms, I'm guessing you mean AB related acronyms. I'll add more later.
RB= red bird, WB= white bird, ME= Mighty Eagle, etc.
ABO= Angry Birds Original
ABS= Angry Birds Seasons
ABR= Angry Birds Rio
ABoS or ABSp= Angry Birds Space
ABF= Angry Birds Facbook
ABV;C;P;FT: Angry Birds; Volcano; Chrome; Pistachio; FujiTV
ABFO; R; S: Angry Birds Free Original; Rio; Seasons

CmdrBond

AB:O - Angry birds original
AB:S - Angry Birds Seasons
AB:R - Angry Birds Rio
AB:Sp, AB:oS, AB:iS - Angry Birds Space / outer Space/ in Space
AB:FB - Angry Birds Facebook
AB:C - Angry Birds Chrome

Red Bird - Standard bird
White Bird - Drops egg bomb and flies off at a tangent when activated
Yellow Bird - Increase velocity when activated - great against wood
Blue Bird - Splits into 3 smaller birds when activated - great against ice/glass
Black Bird - Bomb bird - can be manually detonated or will self detonate after a short delay once it has hit something - great against stone
Green Bird - Starts to spin and reverses direction when activated
Orange Bird - Inflates to massive size when activated or after a short delay once it has hot something

Shoot the moon - to shoot as vertically as possible, normally with a yellow or white bird which gains increased velocity when triggered.

Reverse shot - to fire the green bird in the opposite direction of the structure to be attacked and then activate him to send him into the structure.

blahalb09

@CmdrBond, Slight correction to reverse shot: Fire the green bird backwards or in ABoS fire any bird backwards for a slight speed increase.

CmdrBond

Doh - forgot about AB:Sp (despite playing it constantly ATM) - I suppose that could also then relate to Purple/Lazer bird who gets fired past something then directed back into it.

DD - Device Damage...a thrown iphone/ipad/android/mac/pc resulting in frustration from repeating a level over and over because you know it can be done in 1 bird...and having the final pig not die even though it landed on a TNT....and you know it will be another 1000 attempts before the AB gods smile on you again to allow the perfect storm of one birdy destructiony goodness.

Of course...this could just be me :)

sal9

I think we can drop the AB at this point ... Space, Seasons Classic.
Unless there is another game we cover ;)
Just my 2c

mvnla2

@sal -- Not sure what you mean, we could drop AB in the future, but there are a lot of old posts that contain AB.. Have to think about whether dropping AB would cause confusion; my first though is that it might, e.g. O, S, R, OS. Will people realize what they mean?

mvnla2

Thanks all! Guess this means we will work on a glossary!

mvnla2

@mobious -- I feel your pain, and I'm sure most of us have experienced it, but stopped short of actual DD. However, I don't think DD is a common acronym on this site?

kartflyer

How about adding the "bloated bird" technique-flinging a bird without using it's ability

CmdrBond

That's good - because I thought that referred to the OB

Can I suggest sections separated by gaps - i.e. Games/Episodes as one section, characters/objects as another and methods and techniques as a third.

PB (Purple Bird) = LB - Lazer Bird
OB = Orange/Globe Bird
B.Bro (sometimes B.B.) = Big Brother/Terence (the large red (green in space) bird)

GE = Golde Egg/Eggsteroid
GF = Golden Fruit - refers to the different variety of fruits (Pineapple, Banana, Melon, Papaya, Apple or Mango) found in place of Golden Eggs in AB:R
GM = Golden Mooncake

mvnla2

Wow! Thanks! Will incorporate later. I've been thinking about separate sections. The drawback may be that you end up looking through several lists to find what you want.

mvnla2

@Slim, anyone -- Is there a way to have html create an alphabetized list?

AMslimfordy

No not really

CmdrBond

Copy into Excel (other spreadsheets are available) - Sort - Copy back.

Presto.

mvnla2

Yeah, I'll do that, or maybe just Word.

CmdrBond

if you keep it as an excel file or similar, then you can add to it at any time, re-order the list, then paste back. Not sure you can do that with tables in word.

gfish

I often use the term 'L-factor' (mostly as a joke) instead of saying that you need 99% luck on a level.

BirdLeader

You all are amazing! I see another page in our future. Coming soon...

mvnla2

Group efforts accomplish more than the sum of the whole er parts!

Burbman

Wow! I go away for a weekend and you all make my wish come true.

One from me
Boss fight - A level in which several hits are typically neccessary to accumulate damage and defeat a moving target (either Nigel or King Pig). Usually occurs at the last level of an episode.

CmdrBond

mvnla2

Will include CmdrBond and Burbman comments when I get a chance.
Good comment, I have been using ABOS, because I thought it was going to be called AB in Outer Space. Thanks.

bigbrotherbird97

SD can also stand for the type of verision of angry birds. SD is for the devices like iPhone and iPod. HD is for the iPad and others.

CmdrBond

AMslimfordy

"Froshh" was the sound-effect-name released by Rovio way back when.

CmdrBond

Ahhh

mvnla2

I think I've caught up with all the input as of 4/4. If I skipped your input, it was inadvertent. Please let me know if there is anything else that should be added, or is incorrect / not as clear as it could be. Thanks all!

iamMighty

Why not add something about the power-ups present in ABF such as:

KS- King Sling
S- Super Seeds
SS- Sling Scope
B- Birdquake

Regarding "GB = Golden Beachball - A set of levels that require the finding of a secret spot in 1 specific level to unlock" You unlock by finding a secret spot only in Mobile Devices.

For PC, this is the methode

" Launch Angry Birds Rio and click “Redeem Code” and enter the code found on the insert that came in the DVD or Blu-ray copy of Rio. Upon successfully activating your code the Golden Beachball levels will open up."

For Mac:
Head to http://riodvd.angrybirds.com
Once there scroll down a bit and in the gray instruction box click the “Mac” tab at the top.
The first arrow prompts you to, “Download Angry Birds Rio Bonus Version from here.” Download it to your Mac. Note, that is says “OS 10.6″ or better required.
Once it’s downloaded double-click it and drag the Angry Birds Bonus icon to your Applications folder. It’s now installed. Launch it!

Please skim this as it wouldn't look appropriate in the Glossary section :)

CmdrBond

I don't know all the piggy names, but someone may want to add them if they can.

Also - Episode updtae

AB:Sp - latest level (announced)

FMttM - Fry Me to the Moon

mvnla2

Can someone point me to complete list of pigs? Thanks
Added section on characters.
Caught up to here, I hope

blahalb09

CmdrBond

CmdrBond

mvnla2

I did not add the pigs or other characters that aren't playable.

CmdrBond

CmdrBond

You have FMttM listed twice, it should only come after DZ and GE as that is where it appears on the episode screen.

mvnla2

Thanks. Weird things happen when you are editing in forum. I know I had added it, but it wasn't there (even in wrong place); and then it appeared twice.

CmdrBond

No probs - you also have Nigel listed under birds and enemies "pigs". While I agree he fits in both parts, I think he should only be listed under enemies.

mvnla2

BTW -- Wasn't sure what was meant by "bosses" under pigs? Just noticed that you were posting while I was editing; will work on your latest. Thanks

AMslimfordy

May want to add "ABP" for Angry Birds Space. It is used as the internal reference on download.angrybirds.com.

mvnla2

Done

gfish

How about those bird cages in Rio? I think you should add it.

mvnla2

Not sure what you want to say about bird cages?? Please submit example of what you want added.

Imanangry bird

BC- Bird cage, Rio only. these hold birds who have been captured and must be broken to release the birds within. ?when broken, they grant 5000 points.

gfish

@mvnla2 those birdcages you need to smash in smugglers' den, airfield chase and smugglers' plane.
@Imanangrybird we (at least most of us) usually just say 'cage'

by the way, at 'GB in Space' Terence is spelled wrong (it says "Terrance")

mvnla2

@CmdrBond -- Still don't know what you meant by bosses in pig description?
Otherwise, think I have everything.
Please let me know if anything else missing.

CmdrBond

CmdrBond

You have Medium and Large Pigs the wrong way round, otherwise I think that covers it.

mvnla2

Actually, that is the order you gave them to me, and the order in which the appear. No?
Will add bosses later.
