transcription, транскрипция: [ 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.
