" 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. "
Aumentar!
Onward,
