Top comma

Apostrophe. But if you don't know what an apostrophe is, you shouldn't include it in your child's name.

My daughter's name is Ja'londa. You spell it J-a-"top comma"-l-o-n-d-a.

Comma Banking

Moving money with at least one comma in the amount.

You gotta love doing some comma banking; money numbers with commas feel good to the fiscal soul.

Comma to the Top

Another word for apostrophe, mainly used by psychic detectives.

My name is Sh'Dynasty. That is spelt S H comma to the top Dynasty.

Comma to the top?

THAT'S GOD'S COMMA!

Air Comma

Another, more enthusiastic, way to say Apostrophe.

Guaranteed to make your English teacher either squirm, scream, and possibly even faint.

I just like it better without that stupid air comma

Shatner commas

Oddly placed commas that don't seem to serve any actual purpose in punctuation, but make it look like you should take odd pauses, as William Shatner does when delivering lines.

This is what Shatner commas look like:

When, we get to, the restaurant, we should, order some, tasty, beverages.

Oxford Comma

Also called a Serial or Harvard Comma, it is a punctuation used immediately before a grammatical conjunction. Ezra Koenig, Rostam Batmanglij, Chris Tomson, and Chris Baio (Oxford Commas are used between the names.)

But the preppy indie band Vampire Weekend also uses the term to refer to a white, preppy guy from Oxford, as "comma" has also been used as slang for an obnoxious white person.

Who gives a fuck about an oxford comma?
