plonk
<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 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".
