tops

Shirts and blouses

Tops are the uppermost parts or highest points of things: mountain tops, treetops, the top of the page.

A top is also a garment covering the upper body: She bought three new tops.

In the plural, tops can mean the best or most excellent: This restaurant is tops.

At tops, something reaches its maximum: The job will take two hours, tops.

In BDSM contexts, tops are the dominant partners.

A spinning top is a toy that rotates on a pointed base.

To top something is to exceed or surpass it, or to put something on top: topped with whipped cream. (Capitalized Tops may be a brand name or proper noun.)
