Teraflops =

Trillion FLoating point OPerations (usually expressed in seconds)

Tflops/sec

..a tidbit (haha how much is that? lol)

Rumormill has it that the PS3 processor(s) collective speed is supposed to be at
1Tflop.. peak (off a sladshot forum, sorry dani)

The human brain roughly 4.4Tflops when concious at any given moment - no peak

A "tidbit" is not really a technical term-- it's just some little morsel of information that someone has imparted to you.
