Some graffiti terms:

Tagging
the act of scribing a name or initials in various public spaces for display

Visuals
large pieces of street art that usually depict an image or stylized lettering

Media
different types of art material that can be used in any given piece; spray paint, glue, marker
Burner
a large, more elaborate type piece that seems to be “burning” out of the landscape, these are similar to visuals. Burner pieces seen downtown tend to be legal, because of the time they require.
Writer
a practitioner of writing, a graffiti artist
Bomb
to bomb or hit is to paint many surfaces in an area. Bombers often choose to paint “throw-ups” instead of complex pieces, as they can be executed more quickly.
Throw-up
usually larger image, takes less time to execute while still communicating the writer’s style, this helps their name recognition
Wildstyle
Graffiti with text so stylized as to be difficult to read, often with interlocking, three-dimensional type.
