Funny ... I thought that Faldage's most noteworthy coinage (not that he got paid, or anything) was "yeahbut©"
My comment about "grok" was expressing some surprise about a word which is not in the general literature but which is fairly generally known and understood. A straw poll in my work team shows that everyone in the team knows it and what it means and that most of them know who came up with it and name of the book it was in. Only a few have actually read the book. I was reminded, however, that it was shamelessly ripped off and used by the creator the "Judge Dredd" comic.
My team is made up in roughly equal numbers of IT geeks and bankers.
