Slang for something that can be grokked — understood deeply and intuitively, often at a gut level rather than through formal analysis. The term is most at home in tech, geek, and hacker subcultures, where 'grok' (from Robert Heinlein's Stranger in a Strange Land) is established vocabulary.

The new API is clean and grokkable — you can figure out what it does just by looking at the method names.
