glark

   To  figure  something  out  from context. "The System III manuals are
   pretty  poor,  but you can generally glark the meaning from context."
   Interestingly, the word was originally `glork'; the context was "This
   gubblick  contains  many  nonsklarkish  English  flutzpahs,  but  the
   overall  pluggandisp can be glorked [sic] from context" (David Moser,
   quoted  by Douglas Hofstadter in his Metamagical Themas column in the
   January  1981  Scientific  American).  It  is conjectured that hacker
   usage  mutated  the  verb  to  `glark' because {glork} was already an
   established  jargon  term  (some hackers do report using the original
   term). Compare {grok}, {zen}.
