From the court docs:

> As alleged, Brody left a few "taunts" in the code that he unleashed on FRB. In particular, he is alleged to have used the word "grok," which the government explains is a misspelling of "grock," which, in turn, means to understand.

Can someone please explain to me how 'grok' (regardless of spelling) is a taunt, because I'm just not following.
My guess is he said "you can't grok this"
I'm pretty sure it was "grok" in SiaSL. Is there some other origin?
