    Is “overstand” part of SovCit lingo? Because that’s a new one to me.

      The Moorish sovcits have some weird lingo. They say “eye” in place of I, sun in place of son. Seems related to Rastafarian lingo.

      There is a flavor of SovCit thinking that refuses to say “understand” because they believe it secretly has a double meaning to “stand under” someone and give up your rights and accept their authority. They think judges and police are trying to trick them into waiving their rights when they ask if the SovCit understands something.
