Ha, and I just realised that it’s from the very same Heinlein book that I seem to have picked my blog’s subtitle.

So it is a word-from-the-future then? I would not be surprised if Dredd’s future-slang derived from Heinlein.

According to my dictionary widget Robert Heinlein coined the word “grok.”

And I’d say plain Mozilla rather than Firefox, which I find to be bloated and ugly, but there you go.

It sounds like a Judge Dredd word-from-the-future. I wonder if it is?
