Survey results are in: one out-of-four good friends and family members either know why we chose "Biz" "grok" or they are too polite to ask. The other three out-of-four have spared no time asking, "What the . . . is a bizgrok?" or those with more kindly concern ask, "Will anyone else know what it means?"; still others just look at us and shake their head.

Grok: \GRAWK\, verb: To understand, especially in a profound and intimate way. Grok was first seen in the novel Stranger in a Strange Land, by Robert A. Heinlein and used literally to mean "to drink". Grok is more commonly used metaphorically to mean, "to be one with" or to perceive a subject so deeply that one no longer knows it, but rather understands it on a fundamental level
