Grok (Disambiguation)

(Did you mean a clubzine called Betelgeuse or a Bob Stahl and Owen Everett fanzine?)

To grok is to understand something deeply and intuitively. The transitive verb (grokked, grokking), coined by Robert A. Heinlein in his 1961 novel Stranger in a Strange Land, has made into mundane dictionaries, but it was fanspeak first.
