Topping means you cut the top of the plant. Plain and simple. You usually want to top the first time when there are at least 2-4 nodes below it, meaning around 6-8 inches.
And yes, FIMing is where you cut off about 70-80% of the bud. What happens is that it usually grows at least 4 more main branches from where you cut. It's crazy, but it works great. I FIM first instead of topping now, and then I supercrop on some strains. And super-cropping is when you top some of the other branches as well, so the more branches grow from the other nodes on those branches.
