a noun or adjective indicating anything a high level of knowledge in some field (i.e. fashion); since The Pirates of the Caribbean came out, it has often been equated with "understand"
Regarding the etymology of the word, it is most likely another anglified French word, from the original "savoir," which means "to know." Like parley (also used in "Pirates"), which means "to speak," it was probably absorbed into the English vocabulary back when French was more of a global language.

A territorial vegetarian who is, face it, a total geek. I like geeks. Shes cute, and when she wants to be, sexy, and whether she likes it or not shes pretty. She is a Jedi apprentice. Ironically, shes training under a Sith Lord. Interesting no? Regardless she can be turned. "(S)he will join us or die." She goes to RHS. Many RHSs exist, but she goes to all of them. Shes just boss like that. She's a policy debater (not a good one (but good for LA)) and an interp girl (EWWW!!!!). She is a Shaman. She is also a High Priestess. She just became a member of a cult that worships me. She speaks French. A little anyway. She draws. On people, paper, whatever she wants really. She also has a music obsession, which is a good thing. Failure to have a music obsession may result in termination. The most important thing of all however, is that I love her. She is mine.

Someone who can stay silent but speaks a thousand words. Someone who is canny, original, open-minded, and focused. Someone who has strong positivity and very little negativity. A lifestyle, a type of person. Not just a printed on name. A beast on the outside but a gentleman at heart.
He does more than stand out. He is savvy.
