I assumed it was from Heinlein..... 1961... stranger in a strange land ... the original term perhaps ? ......

( of course i understood your usage nesty, as well spoken as always...)

that would be a reference to stranger in a strange land too, wouldn't you think??

I think it was already a word before Heinlien used it. But, "Stranger in a Strange Land" certainly brought it into mass consciousness.

"Grock a pint?"<== (get ya arrested in England now. Breathalizer shows over the limit.) :cheers:

Yet another use of the word: "Dem Irish Bishops are a buncha groks!"

I guess its not supposed to have a "c" in it. Texas spelling versus British. heheheh

The Oxford English Dictionary defines grok as "to understand intuitively or by empathy; to establish rapport with" and "to empathize or communicate sympathetically (with); also, to experience enjoyment." Other forms of the word include "groks" (present third person singular), "grokked" (past participle) and "grokking" (present participle).

In an ideological context, a grokked concept becomes part of the person who contributes to its evolution by improving the doctrine, perpetuating the myth, espousing the belief, adding detail to the social plan, refining the idea or proofing the theory.

ok.... im done being hard-headed...... :lol:
