“Grok” is from Heinlein’s Stranger in a Strange Land. It was a super important word to me as a kid. I’ve recently started hearing it again used by people who never read the book and find it interesting.
Do you remember where you first heard this word? I assume you heard it as it’s such a memorable word and difficult to misspell.
- alephnerd 3y agoNot OP but I use the word Grok a bunch without having read Heinlein. I heard about it from graybeards and HN, hence why there might be a resurgence now that HN is mainstream.
