A test devised by Alan M. Turing (1912-1954) in the 1950s intended to determine machine intelligence.
The setup of the test is this:
The interrogator, a human, is in a room separate from the machine being tested and another human. The interrogator questions both the machine and the human via a keyboard, and tries to discern which is the machine and which is human.
A computer that can pass the Turing test (that is, be indistinguishable from the human), is considered to have intelligence.

"I passed the Turing test, which shouldn't be that difficult anymore, because Smarterchild is almost there, and humans are getting dumber by the second..."

Get the Turing test mug.On July 9th 1941, Alan Turing and his team cracked the the German Enigma code. This reduced the possibility of the war lasting a further 2 to 4 years. However, this war hero was later sentenced and charged with "indecency" on March 31st, 1952. He chose to undergo hormonal physical changes, also referred to as Chemical Castration, instead of imprisonment. The course lasted 1 Year and ended in 1953.
On the 7th June 1954, Alan Turing died and was found by his house keeper, the cause of death was Cyanide Poisoning. This is where wide-spread controversy comes in. People claim he killed himself due to his hormonal therapy, but he finished this over a year ago. It is also said that Turing had reportedly 'Borne' his treatment and legal setbacks and shown no signs of despondency prior to his death.land left no suicide note. Others claim it was accidental. He was carrying out an experiment where he was using Cyanide. In the autopsy, findings were more consistent with inhalation rather than ingestion. He was also known to eat an apple before bed and leave it half eaten on some occasions, him being found dead being on of the times it was left half eaten. So, he could've ingested some, but he had more intake via inhalation to the point where it became fatal.
However, his legacy continues even now and each day we use what he helped develop and that is a 'Computer' Turing helped lay the groundwork for modern computing and artificial intelligence, these are also known as 'Turing Machines'.

Person A: Wow! It was amazing how we were able to win so many battles, we had great, strong armies!
Person B: Yes, but did you know none of that would've been possible without a man named Alan Turing cracking the German Enigma Code?
Person A: Who?
Person B: Are you paying attention? Good. If you are not listening carefully, you will miss things.

Get the Alan Turing mug.A programming language or programmable device that has the computational power equivalent to a Turing Machine.
A programmable device or programming language that is turing-complete can perform any calculation that any other programmable device or programming language is able to.

Get the turing-complete mug.The act of a male giving a deep tissue massage to another male un-expectingly. The male giving the massage then asks how the other male's day is going, small talk, etc. The massaged male then utters a series of grunts and moans.

Get the Toring mug.Also known as Canvassing is the unscrupulous practice of haggling with bereaved persons on the price of funerals outside of hospitals, the house of mourning, sites of accidents and deathbeds in hospitals.
That man standing over there approached me at my mother's deathbed to discuss the price of her funeral. I think he is funeral touting!
