In my office we usually call objects returned directly without an autorelease as "short returned" and an retain-autoreleased object as "pooled". Though these sound more slang than something that could be official.

Unfortunately, there's no such thing as an unretained object. When an object stops being retained, it gets dealloced.

I thought of "pre-retained" and not "not pre-retained," but those are ugly and probably flawed in some way too. Anyway, I'm done making suggestions for now. There will be plenty of opportunities the inevitable next time this topic heats up. :)
