As most people use it, it means `understand`. It is defined
to mean a wide variety of things, depending on the context,
by Robert Heinlein, in _Stranger_in_a_Strange_Land_. If you
have never read this book (and apparently you haven't), you
should, IMHO.
It was too early for it, but you could probably define it best
as "carry as part of one's memeset", which would fit nicely
with Mr. Bates usage.
