A government ecomomic plan in which taxes are lowered on the wealthy so that they have incentives to do things with the extra money they would have would lead it to 'trickle down' to the middle and lower classes.
For example, the wealthy might use the extra money to expand their businesses or buy more shares in the stock market, thus expanding the economy and providing more jobs for those in the middle and lower classes.
The wealthy might also spend the extra money on more goods and services, thus providing the middle and lower classes with more work.
Probably the most significant stream of money trickling down is from the extra money that the wealthy put in banks. Because there is more money in banks, there is more money for the middle and lower classes to borrow for buying houses and starting and expanding businesses.
Many liberals like to attack trickle down economics as an unfair benefit to the wealthy. Their mistake is that they ignore the idea of the "invisible hand" that is implicitly behind the idea for such an economic policy. Trickle down economics is good because it inevitably leads to more jobs and money for the middle and lower classes and to an expanding economy.

Liberals should actually take a class in macroeconomics before they start complaining about trickle down economics.

Trickle-down management, similar to trickle-down economics, is when the people on the top shit on the people at a lower level than them and it is evenly distributed.

A variation of a golden shower, this lewd sex act involves paying underage prostitutes to urinate on an object which represents your enemy or rival.
Bobby also seems to want Vanessa, so I grabbed his letter jacket while he was distracted to give it the ol' Trumped-up trickle-down. Can I borrow a tarp?

What's that foul-smelling yellow liquid trickling down my neck? Oh shit, more trickle-down economics. Thanks, Australian Liberal Party / Republicans / British Conservative Party / insert fascist right-wing party here.

When you finish something big at work that gets recognized by the top brass you're not recognized for doing the work. Your boss's boss is given the full amount of kudos and they in turn give a reduced amount of kudos to your immediate boss. By the time you get recognized there are only one or two kudos left.
"Jack suffered the full loss of the kudo trickle down theory after slaving on that project for six months. He got the last remaining kudo left. What a shame."
"Stacy only got a pat on the back from the remains of the kudo trickle down theory. All that work for one kudo."
