In the context of air hockey, specifically a well-worn game of air hockey that may be found in a local tavern, a "dirty bird" happens when your opposing team scores three goals in quick succession in a row. The use of the term "dirty bird" would be especially appropriate when the team happens to score three goals through a small-but-exploitable gap in the left side of the goalie net. The term "dirty bird" is said gruffly, never sweetly.
In fact, if you know someone who complains a lot under their breath, partly hoping to be heard and not be heard, then that is the voice you can use when you say "dirty bird."
You can also say something is a "dirty bird" whenever something less than desirable happens.

Example 1
Person 1: Hey, you just scored three goals very quickly in a row using similar techniques that exploit a gap in my goalie!
Person 2: I did. That's called skill.
Person 1: (Mutteringly) That's a dirty bird.
Example 2
Person 1: I ordered a sandwich, but they gave me soup instead.
Person 2: Oooh, that's a dirty bird.

Get the Bird mug.The act sending someone a picture or link that is totally unrelated to the current conversation in order to redirect conversation away from an important topic or question. IE Britney starts a conversation with Jessica on a sensitive subject and Jessica responds with an unrelated picture of a bird.
I’m tired of Jessica always birding me when I try to have a serious conversation about our relationship status.
