Crude comparison between four alternative proposals for the very definition of a wormhole is provided, all of which were intended to apply to the dynamical cases. An interesting dynamical solution, based upon large scale magnetic fields, is used for the comparisons. Such solution goes beyond the perfect fluid approximation due to an anisotropic pressure component, bringing to the fore some unsuspected features of those definitions. Certain notions as reversible traversability are claimed as a way to select among those definitions the best suited one to represent our intuition of what a wormhole solution is expected to be.
