How about this terminology?

C-g --- normal quit

C-g C-g C-g --- urgent quit (breaks out of read-event. should probably break out of redisplay too?)

C-g C-g C-g C-g C-g C-g --- emergency quit. ignores inhibit-quit. good chance of horking your Emacs by violating atomicity assumptions. Display "are you sure?" message before final C-g.
