- Turpentine, or wood turpentine, the organic solvent derived from tree resin; it is a traditional solvent used by painters
- White spirit, which is a petroleum-based replacement for the vegetable-based organic solvent turpentine
- Transurethral resection of the prostate (TURP), a surgical procedure to perform a prostatectomy
- Australian slang for alcoholic beverages, as in "on the turps"
