Makes a difference in how the definitions are used. If you are a pilot doing training on type you better understand the symptoms displayed to you vs the proper check list. Such check lists may have a definition basis quite different from what an engine designer/manucfaturer would use.

I might suggest that flameout is the single most misused/understood acronym between the two (but do you really care as long as you know what to do?)

That followed by surge and stall, but again do you care?

Seizure is another term that does not always mean the same thing. Engines don't seize that just look that way

So, the question is interesting but the scenario as asked is important before answering.
