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.
