"tm" meaning "trademark" I'd guess and Kosh being someone's name. It was a reference to "Babylon 5" (a science fiction tv show). Not very popular here (and on 11pm Tuesday nights), but quite good none the less (although a bit too yankie sometimes). There's an alien called Kosh who swans around making very cryptic replies to anyone's questions, usually consisting of odd beeping/singing noises followed by "yes" in a sing-song voice.
