zen
vt. To figure out something by meditation or by a sudden flash of enlightenment. Originally applied to bugs, but occasionally applied to problems of life in general. How'd you figure out the buffer allocation problem? Oh, I zenned it. Contrast grok , which connotes a time-extended version of zenning a system. Compare hack mode. See also guru.
