What is Top Gun?
1.
From the Tom Cruise movie of fame, "Top Gun" can be used as a passive-aggressive derogatory term for someone who thinks they're cool, tough, or otherwise competent. It is to be used along the same sarcastic lines as "boss," "chief," "ace," "big guy," "player," etc., except Top Gun is most effective when dealing with someone either in a fast car, or wearing Ray-Ban sunglasses.
"Hey, way to signal there, Top Gun!"

The Air Combat Manuvering (ACM) training school for the Navy, used to teach dog fighting. Officially called the Naval Fighters Weapons School, it was based out of Mirimar Naval Air Base in San Diego. In 1996 however, it moved to Fallon Naval Air Station 60 miles out of Reno, Nevada
The movie Top Gun is nothing like the actual school.

A great film about Naval Aviators made in 1985 and released in the early summer of 1986. Starring Tom Cruise as Maverick. Some (easily-led) people, support the Tarantino-fuelled idea that this film has a gay subplot, but this is total shit.Just watch it and enjoy it, its no masterpiece in terms of screen-writing but it embodies what made the 1980's a great decade.
Top Gun is a great film from 1986

Old school Nintendo game. Known for the level where you would have to try and refuel the plane to no avail. Should you somehow pass this level, you would then have to try and land the damn plane on the Carrier.
"I just refueled the plane! Time to restart"
"*awed silence*"

1. The U.S Navy fighter weapons school in Miramar, California. Trained top 1% of naval aviators. Relocated to nevada as of 1996
2. A kick-ass 1986 movie starring Tom Cruise, Kelly McGillis, Anthony Edwards and Val Kilmer. Had awesome aerial combat scenes, even for an 80's movie. It is a cult classic for anyone who grew up in the 80's. Anyone who saw this movie back in the day wanted to be a fighter pilot.
Everyone who thinks Top Gun is "gay" must have been really gay to search so hard for gay subtext, instead of just sitting back and enjoying the awesomeness.

To have sex with a woman, usually while intoxicated. Used as a noun, naming a location where only a select few guys go after a party. To achieve top gun status, vaginal penetration must be made. All other sexual acts count merely as "flight school" which in time may lead to top gun status.
Ace: Hey man, did you wind up hooking up with that chick from the party last night?
Rellie: Hell yeah man! I went all the way to top gun!
