Stamps are just poorly centered until they are no longer considered poorly centered. At about 20% or if change of design occurs then they are perforation
freaks. Errors have something completely missing or completely incorrect such as imperforated due to missing perforations or entire doubling of the perforation.
My link above shows you some great examples and explanations.
Error and
freak are terms of art in US Philately. They are also shown and defined at the organization to which I sent you via link, The EFO Collector's Club.
