"Grok" is a word first used by Robert H. Heinlein, a Scifi writer, and is very real.

I'll just move on for now -- sometimes it's best just to move ahead, and not worry about cgod buffoonery.

I use grock correctly in a sentence (with quotation marks because it's silly) and you have to act like I'm some kind if big dummy letting me know it a "real" word used by Heinlein. For some reason you just have to assume that every one is an ignoramus even when all the evidence is to the contrary.

I know my Heinlein, I even remember how to drive the tractor.
