In Italy we have an idiomatic sentence: far cadere le palle. It means literally to cause the fall of the balls (=testicles). The meaning is: to be very bored/annoyed, (well it's difficult to me to explain in English) f.e. when you are explaining something very complicated to someone, thinking he's understanding you, and then he comes out with a comment or a question that clarifies that he has understood nothing or he knows nothing about what you are saying. Or when someone bother you with some long explanations, repeats always the same things etc. In those cases it's common to say "mi fa cadere le palle" or, and here is the point, mimic or allude to the noise that the falling balls are supposed to produce: a "plonk" is a good representation of it. I don't know if Di Egidio has something to do with Italy, apart the surname, but maybe his "plonk" has more to do with this interpretation than the classic usenet's one... Just to smile, folks!...
