The most common taxonomy I encounter on a day-to-day basis is PAYE ...

Pay As You Earn.

Income tax on your salary deducted and paid by your employer before it reaches you.

Oh--thanks. They do that here, but it's just called withholding.

"Withholding" encompaes all the deductions from a paycheck, including contributions to Social Security, the employees share of medical/dental insurance plans, retirement funds, possibly U.S. savings bonds and anything else you've signed up for and FICA. What's left is called "take home pay" in the USA.
I used to know what FICA. stood for but cannot recall. Tried the Dept. of Treasury website to no avail...anyone out there help me?

To steal an oversimplification:
childhood, adulthood, and "My, you're looking good today!"

It's so obvious but ... since nobody's mentioned:
freshman, sophmore, junior, senior, master, doctor.
