Pounds per square inch. It's a measurement of the amount of force placed on a surface. In this case, it's the compressed air exerting an outward force on the tire.
The "p" for "per" is not included because "per" is just a word for part of the equation that makes up the unit. It's actually lb/in^2. It's odd that the "p" is included in MPH (mi/hr) and RPM (rot/min), though.
