Word For The Day, Wednesday, July 2, 2014-- plonk
;
In order that we might all raise the level of discourse and expand our language abilities, here is the daily post of "Word for the Day".
plonk [plɒŋk]
hear it pronounced
noun (Chiefly British)
inferior or cheap wine.
Origin: 192530; perhaps alteration of French ( vin ) blanc white (wine)
verb
1. ( often foll by down ) to drop or be dropped, esp heavily or suddenly: he plonked the money on the table
noun
2. the act or sound of plonking
interjection
3. an exclamation imitative of this sound
Special Usage:
Computing Dictionary
plonk definition
networking, abuse (Possibly influenced by British slang "plonk" for cheap booze, or "plonker" for someone behaving stupidly; usually written "*plonk*") The sound a newbie makes as he falls to the bottom of a kill file. While this term originated in the Usenet newsgroup news:talk.bizarre, by 1994 it was widespread on Usenet and mailing lists as a form of public ridicule. Another theory is that it is an acronym for "Person with Little Or No Knowledge".

I took Freshman physics in college, and hated the professor’s haughty New England academia accent. I wanted to plonk my head down hard on the desk every time he said the name Mox Plonck, it was so freakin irritating.

That was a nice quantum leap. I took physics in college as well, and was wondering if anyone would use old Max in a response. Nice work!
