From the Tom Cruise movie of fame, "Top Gun" can be used as a passive-aggressive derogatory term for someone who thinks they're cool, tough, or otherwise competent. It is to be used along the same sarcastic lines as "boss," "chief," "ace," "big guy," "player," etc., except Top Gun is most effective when dealing with someone either in a fast car, or wearing Ray-Ban sunglasses.
"Hey, way to signal there, Top Gun!"

The Air Combat Manuvering (ACM) training school for the Navy, used to teach dog fighting. Officially called the Naval Fighters Weapons School, it was based out of Mirimar Naval Air Base in San Diego. In 1996 however, it moved to Fallon Naval Air Station 60 miles out of Reno, Nevada
The movie Top Gun is nothing like the actual school.

Having a girl ride your face cowgirl style while simultaneously using your penis as a joystick. Be sure to have "Highway to the Danger Zone" by Kenny Loggins playing in the background for the full effect.
I wanted to play top gun with my girl the other night but she totally shot me down because apparently the pattern was full.

Old school Nintendo game. Known for the level where you would have to try and refuel the plane to no avail. Should you somehow pass this level, you would then have to try and land the damn plane on the Carrier.
"I just refueled the plane! Time to restart"
"*awed silence*"

A reference to the 1986 classic film, Top Gun. Used to refer to a situation where a straight male has homosexual feelings for another straight male. This gay crush or particular tension does not mean an individual is gay or that these feelings will ever be acted upon, only that the feelings involved in the friendship are of a particularly intimate nature and might be interpreted as homoerotic.
"Man, Jordan has a total top gun for David."

"Heath is top-gunning so hard for his roommate."
