The number of deaths? Loudness, weight? Maybe we need a standardization that is understood by all readers, listeners and media outlets.

the difference is "pipe bomb", "dynomite", and "C4"
actually its how big the shockwave is, some bombs can be loud and some make a big scene, but the perfect ones are the nicely compacted, pressurized ones that you can not only hear but feel go off hundreds of yards away.

Media naming. Ask the journalists, they think that crap up. Bottomline, a car bomb is a car bomb.

Pretty much -- yeah, number of deaths and loudness.
But does it really matter? It's like making a distinction between a serial killer who kills 5 people and one who kills 15.
