It's not in the pirates dictionary: # http://www.privateerdragons.com/pirate_dictionary7.html#S But Google says: # understanding: the cognitive condition of someone who understands; "he has virtually no understanding of social cause and effect" I thought it meant: # Right on! or # Excelent!

Too bad not in context. But to be "SAVVY" does mean to be knowledgeable, with a hint of flair, worldiness and savoir faire!

It means "do you understand/do you know what i mean" or "I understand/I know what you mean" and it comes from English slang...which they took from the French word "savoir" which translates as "to know"
