(76,662 posts)Since I'm not clear from the Urban Dictionary definition below and from the way it was used on one of my (anti-)SNOWDEN posts whether it was being addressed to MY post itself or to my take-down of the poster I was addressing. Was it approving of MY post (since I'm not a newbie and my take-down was of a newbie), but if so why was it Replying to MY post instead of "plonking" at the newbie? However, given this O.P., I'm fairly sure it was disapproving of MY post. **plonk" on me!1

2. plonk
from: the on-line hacker Jargon File, version 4.2.3:
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.
St00oid is as st00pid oes. *PLONK*
