Help out a newbie please? :(

..I'm really new to this website and finance in general. Could someone please explain what Bulge Bracket is? Capital Markets? Fixed income? (throw in another term that I've been reading on this site but don't really understand..)

Thanks in advance and I really appreciate it!

For your reference, I kinda have an idea of IB and how to differentiate it from S&T, etc. Not much further understanding then. Banks have been recruiting on my campus and I have attended presentations.. although I'm still pretty confused at this point.
