I think it depends on what branch of service or if you are in Aviation. I was in the Artillery for 22 years. Only ever heard of enemy aircraft referred to as fast mover for fighter jets or if it is a helicopter the kind of helicopter Hind-d for example. For combat arms personnel there is no need to broadcast friendly aircraft.

Everyone is telling you what they mean but I can tell you where to find out more:

Google: APP-7 Joint Brevity Codewords

The reason they are used is to have common meaning across nations that don’t speak english well, and to reduce confusion in high tempo situations.
