Usually, when discussing about the Bloons games, some people use abbreviations or terms exclusive to the game series. In case if you don't know what these abbreviations or terms mean, here's a full list. You can add your own terms, but make sure to keep the list alphabetized correctly. Symbols count as letters, and all belong in front of letters. For example, "O:DS" is put before "OC" because of the colon.
Please Note: These terms may differ slightly among players. Be careful when using these.
