Sorry -- those are the standard weather abbreviations for cumulonimbus and towering cumulus. You can see and avoid both when you're VFR -- if you're on top, they stick out high above the surrounding clouds (CB often goes right to the stratosphere, where it spreads out into an anvil), and if you're underneath, you can see the heavy rain showers and possibly lightning. When you're IFR in IMC, you can fly into one with no warning and possibly tear your plane to pieces.
