The tribbles are similar to the "Martian Flat Cats" in Heinlein's novel The Rolling Stones, which made the producers of "The Trouble with Tribbles" nervous about a possible lawsuit. Finally, they phoned the author, who was satisfied with a simple "mea culpa" from Gene Roddenberry. (Inside Star Trek: The Real Story, pp. 333-334)
Heinlein invented the verb "grok" (roughly meaning: to completely and totally understand), used in his novel Stranger in a Strange Land. "I grok Spock" was a popular t-shirt and bumper sticker slogan used by Trekkies in the 1970s.
