dude grok has been a viable part of pop culture for fifty fuckin' years. Matt Groening used it in parody to describe pseudointellectuals back when he was writing Life in Hell, ten years before he was even approached about The Simpsons. Just 'cuz you don't know a word doesn't mean it isn't a perfectly viable word. Heinlein coined the term "waldo" as well, and also invented the waterbed (for better or worse). In fact, the number of words you use from science fiction is probably absurdly higher than you're aware.
