To me it translates as "palpate,feel,touch" anyway:
edit:note,such an act it is often charged of sexual harassment

I consider Gurren Lagann more of a parody than a true giant robot series, but you may be right about getter emperor.

Wouldn't it be more accurate to say "the same side is always facing the earth during a particular lunar phase"? Because IIRC the "dark side of the moon" does face the Earth... but only during the New Moon phase, so we can't see it anyway.

Nope, the Earth and Moon's rotations are synchronized due to gravitational tidal forces and a bit of cosmic luck. The Moon does wobble a bit so over the period of a lunar month we can see a total of 59% of the moon but the dark side always faces away from the earth.
Straight Dope article that explains the reasons in more detail.

There's no luck involved. Tidal lock is a fate that all planets and moons share, sooner or later (barring rotation-orbit resonance). Even earth's rotation is slowed by the sun's gravity.

Luck that we have a moon at all. Luck that the moon isn't in an irregular orbit. Luck that we only have one moon. Luck that we have such a large moon. Stop nitpicking.

I'm still pissed that we couldn't see the super moon here in Philly due to cloud cover. How am I supposed to bathe in it's mystical light and get super powers when said mystical light cannot reach me?!?

Isn't having the powers of the undead enough for you?
