Björk explains the meaning of the term "Tappi Tíkarrass"
"It's an expression the farmers use if something fits very smoothly together,
and they say, it fits like the top of a bottle into a bitch's arse"

Tappi Tíkarrass consisted of 4 band members one of which was Björk (as the drummer).
 Tappi Released 2 albums and appearing in a couple of films, most famous the Icelandic documentary "Rokk Í Reykjavík" with 2 songs, Björk also became the cover girl of the video. Tappi later on played a lot alongside two other bands, 'Purrkurr Pillnikk' and 'Þeyr'. A notable member of 'Purrkurr Pillnikk' was singer / trumpeter Einar Örn Benediktsson who later would join Björk as a vocalist in The Sugarcubes.

Please note, these are not pictures of Björk from when she was in Tappi Tikarrass, I've simply put some Björk pictures here for you viewing pleasure, as far as I know there are no documented pictures of Björk from when she was in Tappi Tikarrass, 
but apparently she had, orange hair and shaven off eye brows :-)
