What's on your mug?

In our tradition, we utilize this word most solemnly and seriously. 1) Contrary to 'understand': to accept as a fact or truth or regard as plausible WITH utter certainty. Legal usage is to EMPHASIZE one's comprehension of a matter, and to contract or not to contract absolutely <I overstand that I will not be making a plea; to overstand the matter> 2) to achieve a grasp of the nature, significance, or explanation of something, WITHOUT yielding jurisdiction, standing or status. 3) the ABSOLUTE possession of comprehension <I overstand that completely.>

You must overstand the law, and any resulting charges that are levied against you to maintain and protect your sovereignty.

when you can explain it so someone else; to completely "know"; to be able to explain a subject just like the person who explained it to you; having complete clarity on a particular subject or discussion; no gaps in the comprehension of a subject; the flip side of 'understand'

When I was a student, I understood tai chi. Now that I am a teacher, I really have a better overstanding. "I'm glad you explained it to me. I sort of understood before, but now I overstand."

Overstand is a word frequently used to express a condition higher than 'understanding.' The background of using 'over' instead of under is rooted in the urban religion of the Nations of Gods and Earth b.k.a. "5 Percenters." The principle derives from what the 5% call "The Universal Balance" "Wisdom" may be attained by "UNDERstanding", but can only be sustained by "OVERstanding". OVER=excessive or beyond normal UNDER=below standard or less than, which brings 5% believe will us to the Divine principle of "Balance". Many new York or Rappers reference 5% lingo. Although it is fully submerged in hip hop culture and many artist do not know the roots.
