In the world of teh Internets discussion, the casual yet highly calculated and strategic reference to having an earned income that puts one into the top federal income tax bracket (i.e., Top Tax Bracket-ism). Special note should be given when one's income is not material to the discussion at hand.

TTBism is an artifact of ever-sophisticated narcissistic ego-assuaging Internetry plainly evidenced by the fact 65.5% of Internet users claim TTBism yet fact shows that TTBism is 99.8th percentile income (i.e., 0.2% of the all wage earners in the US earn enough to be in the top tax bracket; currently 35% and $379k/year).
Jack: Man, I'm sick and tired of paying more than a 1/3 of my income in federal income taxes!

Jill: Uh, huh. Nice TTBism you tool. We're talking lawn furniture here!

West Midlands slang word for rockers, bikers, greasers etc. In the late 1980s it was used by the UK music press to refer to a specific scene centered around the bands Pop Will Eat Itself and Crazyhead. The term never found favour with readers of 'the inkies' (Sounds, Melody Maker and the still extant NME) and was soon dropped. Now often used in predominantly working-class areas of the midlands and the north to mean someone who listens to rock-derived music and/or dresses in a manner that suggests they affiliate themselves with rock music of some kind.
