    It is a name, usually written Mensa, with a capital M. The name comes from a Latin word for a table. The club likes the picture of a round table: once you are in, your job, your money, and where you come from are not supposed to matter — only that score.

    In real life it is just a club, with local groups and a magazine. Some people say the name with respect; some say it as a joke about showing off.

    It is not a school, and it is not a word for “smart.” You do not call a clever friend “a mensa.” Though actually, star maps also use Mensa for a small group of stars in the far south, named after Table Mountain. That is the same Latin table-word, but it is not this club.
