definition of the term *Plonk*

Cool . . . I was familiar with the British term as "derision", but not that
it was cheap booze, or an acroynm for Person of Little Or No Knowledge G
Applicable . . .

I missed the asterixes out, bad me!

yep, I didn't think much of the defintions that i posted but I couldn't
find much else at the time.
a better definition @ http://www.netlingo.com/lookup.cfm?term=plonk
I always thought it was the sound of something or someone hitting the
bottom of the garbage can.

OR, the sound of flushing a toilet!

AFAIK, both definitions are a little off. "Plonk" is the sound of a
telephone slamming down, as in hanging up on someone in disgust. It is used
to indicate the plonker is sending the plonkee to the kill file. :-)
