CPT
Rank below major
CPT is an abbreviation with several meanings depending on context.
In medicine, it stands for Current Procedural Terminology—the standardized codes used to bill for medical services: The doctor's office submitted the CPT codes to insurance.
In military and police contexts, CPT abbreviates Captain.
In physics, CPT refers to charge-parity-time symmetry, a fundamental principle.
In informal African American usage, CPT stands for Colored People's Time, a self-deprecating joke about chronic lateness: Sorry I'm late—running on CPT.
