Response: With my dad, the maternal side of the family emigrated from Canada, the paternal side from Italy. My grandfather was killed in action in WW II; before that he worked in a wallpaper mill. My Dad grew up, got out to college in Olean, and then he and my Mom settled in Syracuse.

Response: Grok was coined by Robert Heinlein in 1961 for his sci fi novel, Stranger in a Strange Land. I only became aware of it in the 1990s, when it came into use in the tech industry. Programmers used it to describe the experience of understanding something after struggling with it awhile. That word, and the word "wonk" were in heavy use. A wonk is someone who has a thrives on minutiae and complexity and who knows a LOT about something. :)
