Ummm...
By heart:
1)
DDMB = ???
SSB = Swifstrike Buckler
GF = Gran Faust
DCB = Deadly Crystal Bomb
SSB = Super Shard Bomb
GF = Grand Flourish
SSS = Scintillating Sun Shards
DSB = Deadly Shard Bomb
SSB = Super Splinter Bomb
GF = ???
DSB = Deadly Splinter Bomb

2)DShardB deals normal dmg, DSplinterB deals piercing.

3) SwiftsrikeBuckler is a 3* shield that grants asi h to all weapons, SShardB is a 3* bomb that deals normal dmg, SSplinterB is a 3* bomb that deals piercing dmg.

4) GrandFlourish is 4* and deals piercing dmg, GranFaust is 5* and deals split norm/shad dmg with a chance of curse (and self curse charge), and the last GF is... I... don't know...

3. One is a small shield, one is a shiny bomb, and one is a sad excuse of a bomb

SSB= Swiftstrike Buckler or Super Smash Bros. or Shocking Salt Bomb or Super Shard Bomb or Super Splinter Bomb or Surge Side Blade

SSS= Scintillating Sun Shards or Super Swagger Storm or Super Slime Slasher or Scary Skelly Shield or Sinister Skelly Shield or

DSB= Deadly Shard Bomb or Divine Side Blade or Dusky Side Blade

To be honest, the hipstery weapons should never be abbreviated because no one will know what you're talking about or assume you to be talking about the more popular option.

SSB = Swift Strike Buckler.

If I say "SSB is one of the better options." while playing Spiral Knights, I don't mean shocking salt bomb or surge side blade or super smash bros. That would be ridiculous.

As Reto said-

"DDMB = ???"

DDMB: decidedly dorky mega-boink
SSB: suckin' sloppy ******
GF: God-****
DCB: Damaged Case of Beer
SSB: super sloppy ******
GF: gregariously fisted
SSS: superciliously slapped santa
DSB: don't shoot, bob!
SSB: slap-stick ******
GF: giant foot
DSB: doing something boring

Question 2: what is the difference between DSB and DSB?

the former is an exclamation of panic, while the latter is a passively descriptive statement.

Question 3: what is the difference between SSB and SSB and SSB? Yes, there are three SSBs.

while all three may be used within the same paragraph, the first contains the verb "sucking" which designates that it is an act, the second is a noun preceded by the adjective and modifier "sloppy" and "super" respectively, and the third can be either used as a noun with an adverb modifier or simply a noun modified by the adjective "slap-stick" denoting that it is intended to be used in a physically comedic way.

Question 4: what is the difference between GF and GF and a GF?

the third is simply a foot modified by the word "giant" meaning it is very large in size compared to its surroundings. the first is a descriptor meaning I can really do you good in bed and the second typically occurs at parties i'm sure none of you have ever been to.

the growth factor from my

the growth factor from my gluten-free girlfriend and her disgusting cootie breath gave me sick sinus syndrome, meanwhile the super smash brothers have got a dust soft bunny leaking super sticky bubbles on their digital sand barbeque, which has got to be the greatest thing since sliced bread.
(&*^%$^*& those dumb dandelions are making butter again, I warned them about that. butter does not go well with barbequed sand......
