   Wrong.   
      
   Freebase puts it well...   
      
   "Plonk is a Usenet jargon term for adding a particular poster to one's   
   kill file such that the poster's future postings are completely ignored.   
   It was first used in 1989, and by 1994 was a commonly used term on   
   Usenet regarding kill file additions. The word is an example of   
   onomatopoeia, intended to humorously represent the supposed sound of the   
   user hitting the bottom of the kill file."   
      
   By the way, Google doesn't support killfiles. Get yourself a real news   
   client. Until you do, claiming plonks your software doesn't support just   
   makes you look foolish.   
      
   And swearing still ages you at about 14. Grow up.
