grok GRAWK, verb:
To understand, especially in a profound and intimate way. Slang.
The electeds can say "I feel your pain" when the teleprompter tells them to, but our current existential crisis isn't something they grok.

For those who don't quite grok the Web, it can be an intimidating challenge.
-- New York Times, June 1, 1997
The slang word grok was coined by Robert A. Heinlein in the science fiction novel "Stranger in a Strange Land", where it is a Martian word meaning literally "to drink" and metaphorically "to be one with".
