synonymous with "message received", "understood", "I got it"......

First time I texted "AK" to my boss to acknowledge his text message, he texted back, "Alaska? What?"

Wiki: "'Grok' means to understand so thoroughly that the observer becomes a part of the observed—to merge, blend, intermarry, lose identity in group experience. It means almost everything that we mean by religion, philosophy, and science and it means as little to us as color does to a blind man."
