TPTB 

(1) This acronym represents the Apostle Paul's phrase, "the powers that be." It is from his letter to the Romans, chapter 13, verse 1.

(2) It was used by Joss Whedon's "Buffy the Vampire Slayer" and "Angel" TV series to describe a specific group of supernatural beings, whose purpose was to maintain the balance of good and evil in the world.

"The powers that be (TPTB) are ordained of God." Romans 13:1

TPTB 

Shorthand for "The Powers That Be". Believed to have started in Jossverse, the term refers to the directors, producers, writers, actors, etc. of a certain TV show. Mostly used in cult shows like Stargate, Star Trek, BtVS and the like.

"I was really upset when the TPTB killed off my favorite character."

typobonics 

The intentional misspelling or shortening of common words in order to sound cool in some circles. It is similar to ebonics in spoken english, but used, as the name implies in typed english. Typobonics is used almost exclusively on the internet, not uncommonly used in teenage chatrooms, blogs about boy bands, instant messages and e-mails between teenage girls about high school drama.
Typobonics is considered by some to be lazy and low-class.

Not to be confused with l33t, which is common with internet nerds, or the condensed written english associated with text messaging, which is shortened out of necessity of the nature of a text message.

"My little sister always uses typobonics instead of normal english when she's instant messaging her dorky friends."

Some typical typobonic word subsitutions are:
'cuz' instead of 'because'
'plz' instead of 'please'
'luv' instead of 'love'
'neva' instead of 'never'
'n' instead of 'and'
'da' instead of 'the'

"u neva gunna looz weight cuz u always chattin on da internet."
