I feel it is time to grok the Einstein equation.
Who the hell says "grok" anymore???????
I do.
It's a good word, whose meaning seems to match its sound.
Next question?
So its meaning is "the sound a frog makes in a pond"?
All I'm saying is that back when Heinlein wrote "Stranger in a Strange
Land" it was a wonderful word and people used it freely but now it
comes across as dated and younger folks have never heard it but in
reality I wish such were not the case for I agree with everything said
here in defense of it and maybe I wish I had more courage to trot it
out every now and again.
