   [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.
