parse

vt. 1. To determine the syntactic structure of a sentence or other utterance
(close to the standard English meaning). That was the one I saw you. I can't
parse that. 2. More generally, to understand or comprehend. It's very
simple; you just kretch the glims and then aos the zotz. I can't parse that.
3. Of fish, to have to remove the bones yourself. I object to parsing fish ,
means I don't want to get a whole fish, but a sliced one is okay. A parsed
fish has been deboned. There is some controversy over whether unparsed
should mean bony , or also mean deboned.
