The answer is grok,like to drink. 70's slang.

GROK.HTML

No more about To Drink

Just one question, I read about the 70's slang, ok, thats new to me

Anyways, what does that VMS stand for then? Just to brush up and move on

wtf is grok .and how does vms fit in with it

grok literally means "to drink."


I had an epiphany while taking a pee and came up with it.

I guess Babelfish doesn't include Martian.

that's sexy. What does it have to do w/ vms?

From dictionary.com

grok

/grok/, var. /grohk/ vt. [from the novel "Stranger in a
Strange Land", by Robert A. Heinlein, where it is a Martian word
meaning literally `to drink' and metaphorically `to be one with']
The emphatic form is `grok in fullness'. 1. To understand, usually
in a global sense. Connotes intimate and exhaustive knowledge.
Contrast zen, which is similar supernal understanding experienced
as a single brief flash. See also glark. 2. Used of programs,
may connote merely sufficient understanding. "Almost all C
compilers grok the `void' type these days."

VMS = Valentine Michael Smith, the main character in Heinlein's "Stranger In A Strange Land.

to humans...

meaning from something, from apes to humans?

does anything in that book happen to humans?

So, grok is a Martian word in the book? Could the next question be related? As in grok is to humans...?

I doubt the last question is related to the current one or else the "VMS" would have been there from the start.
