For some reason, until you used it in a sentence, I thought it was a drink or some Scottish thing like Haggis. I guess that's grog. DUH!!

Sandra Cox said...

Andrew, Darn google anyway;) It's basically get or understand.
Hey FSG, Great to hear from you. How are you?
Elizabeth S, He's better known than the definition of the word, isn't he;)
Val, It's an odd one.
Elizabeth, Heh. I started to do that myself;)

Birgit said...

Is this an old word or a new one the kids made up? I never heard of this but I looked up the definition and was surprised that it means empathy and understanding.

Sandra Cox said...

I get it, Jacqui. It's certainly not one that is found in your writing or mine.
Birgit, I believe it originated in Sci Fi land.

J.Q. Rose said...

I agree with Bluebeard and Elizabeth. I thought grok could be a Viking drink!
