Good ones, please do tell.
When I've heard people use the word "forward", they've always meant more midrange and treble than bass. Same thing with "detailed". Can't say I've ever heard anyone say something sounded "fuzzy", but I would guess they meant noisy, like a preamp with poor a high noise floor. I dunno. What's your take on "fuzzy"? What did they mean?
That brings up an opposite - the word "black" is often used by tube amp guys to describe a very high signal-to-noise ratio, a very low noise floor, where nothing can be heard between passages.
Forward or Detailed - over-represented midrange and treble, generally lacking bass Fuzzy - poor signal-to-noise ratio(?) Black - good signal-to-noise ratio, as in no sound in-between musical passages
