Comprehen is street slang for “do you get it?”
Origins: a mutation of the age old saying “which came first, the chicken or the egg?” e.g.
“Da egg come pre hen or what?” Often used to see if the other person in the conversation is on the same wavelength and understands what you’re saying and in agreement. This has become shortened to “comprehen?”
