From: http://gopher.quux.org:70/pygfarm/dict.pyg?/jargon/DEFINITION/plonk DEFINITION of 'plonk' >From Jargon File (4.3.3, 20 Sep 2002) plonk excl.,vt. [Usenet: possibly influenced by British slang `plonk' for cheap booze, or `plonker' for someone behaving stupidly (latter is lit. equivalent to Yiddish `schmuck')] The sound a {newbie} makes as he falls to the bottom of a {kill file}. While it originated in the {newsgroup} talk.bizarre, this term (usually written "*plonk*") is now (1994) widespread on Usenet as a form of public ridicule. ------------------------------------------------------------ Generated by dict.pyg for Pygopherd by John Goerzen <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> dict.pyg and Pygopherd licensed under the GPL.
