Different language?

Sometimes when reading posts, I wonder if people are speaking a different language as I don't understand what the person is saying/asking. Anyone else?
It could be me, I'm old!

@robbie2499 they have their own jiva talk like we did. You grook? 😊

@DeWayfarer I'm grook (I think). You're right about "their own language"! :)

@robbie2499 oh not Groot! 😭 That's another generation. I meant grok from our generation.

@DeWayfarer Will you define "grok"? Never heard of it!

@robbie2499 oh my oh my so you weren't apart of the 60s hippie gang or a fan of Heinlein.

You missed out of a lot of slang.

@DeWayfarer I was a very sheltered person in my young years. Yes, I sure did miss out!

@robbie2499 its more complicated than this. Yet it's short...

Grok is a slang term that means to understand something deeply and intuitively, often to the point where it becomes a part of your identity. It was popularized by the science fiction novel "Stranger in a Strange Land" by Robert A. Heinlein.
