TPS
Three-letter initialism
TPS is an initialism with several meanings depending on context.
In business jargon, it stands for transaction processing system or, infamously from the film *Office Space*, "TPS reports"—a symbol of pointless corporate paperwork.
In U.S. immigration law, Temporary Protected Status allows nationals from designated countries to remain legally.
In gaming, TPS means third-person shooter or ticks per second.
