Captcha

Printer-friendly versionSend to friend

You've seen those wavy little words and phrases you have to type to prove that you are human and not a computer, right? Never knew those things had a name, but today I learned they do. The practice is called CAPTCHA, pronounced just like you'd think as in "I'm gonna captcha that buttahfly in my net!" 

The word is a contrived acronym for "Completely Automated Public Turing test to tell Computers and Humans Apart."  (Hah! For more from Wikipedia, click here.)
