The word "ornary" in "Massive Ornary Air Blimp" appears to be a misspelling of [[wiktionary:ornery|ornery]], a word used to describe something as having an irritable dispostion or as being difficult to deal with or control. This spelling is consistently used in instances where this name is written in full.

The formatting of the "MOAB" acronym is inconsistent. In ''Bloons Tower Defense 3'' and ''[[Bloons TD 4]]'', the acronym is punctuated as "M.O.A.B" in pre-round comments, but is formatted without punctuation in some related terms (such as the [[MOAB Mauler (BTD4)|MOAB Mauler]] and [[MOAB Madness (BTD4)|MOAB Madness]] challenge). Starting in ''[[Bloons TD 5]]'', the non-punctuated form is the most common. Tutorial text in ''[[Bloons TD 6]]'' refers to [[MOAB-Class Bloon]]s as "M.O.A.B. Class Bloons", and challenge parameters in ''BTD6'' capitalize the acronym as "Moab", as seen in the text "Moab Speed Increased/Decreased" and "Moab Health Increased/Decreased". "MOAB" by itself is occasionally used to refer to MOAB-Class ~~Bloons~~ as a whole~~. Due to this potentially interchangeable term~~, ~~Ninja Kiwi sometimes refers to~~ the MOAB ~~as a~~ "blue ~~MOAB~~" to avoid ~~that~~ ambiguity.

[[Hero]] voice lines in ''[[Bloons TD 6]]'', ''[[Bloons TD Battles 2]]'', and ''[[Bloons Adventure Time TD]]'' pronounce "MOAB" as either M-O-A-B or <tt>/ˈmoʊ.æb/</tt> ("MOW-ab"), depending on the character.
