Here's a simple way to refer to Egg Throws of specific strengths and directions:
First, there's the strength of the throw. Even though there are infinitely many throw strengths in theory, only the strongest and weakest throws are especially useful. So the first part of a trajectory name is "strong/weak". Then there's the angle of the throw. Once again, there are infinitely many angles in theory, but only a few matter. The angle can be referred to by the input required to produce it. Thus, the angle component of the trajectory is "backward/upward/diagonal/forward". Lastly, add "-egg" to the end for clarity. If you want, you can even abbreviate the angle inputs, like "strong forward egg -> strong f-egg", because we use that same kind of abbreviation to shorten stuff like "forward aerial" to "f-air".
Some examples, with GIFs of the actual move produced by the input:
Weak Forward Egg:
Weak Upward Egg:
Strong Backward Egg:
And yes, it totally matters which specific trajectory you're referring to when you talk about Egg Throw. They all have different uses.
