    To "grok" something means to understand it on a deep, intuitive level. A term originally used in Robert Heinlein's Sci-Fi classic "Stranger in a Strange Land".

    Spock was a character on the '60s TV show "Star Trek"

    I've never heard that expression before. But then again, I'm not all that trekkie.
