>Thank you. I figured it out it comes from "Got you!", but, AFAI saw, it's used in relation/connection with finding bugs... and I would like to know if I'm using it correctly. :)

>>AFAIK, "Gotcha !" found it's place in the colloquial English as a phonetic translation of "Got you !" or "I got you !". I'm not sure that anybody can explain the exact meaning of the word as it's used according to the situation. To me it sounds more like an "Eureka !" (read something like "evrika"). I am sure that any language has developed a similar exclamation in it's vocabulary.

The story that I always heard was that 'gotcha' came from the phrase "caught you" which could apply to almost anything.
