It certainly is.  For example, the Wikipedia entry for Plonk (wine)
says "Plonk is an unspecific and derogatory term in British and 
Australian English for wine that is notably inexpensive or judged 
to be of poor quality."  However, Uno, who is the plonker[*] in 
the above exchange, undoubtedly meant it in the Plonk (Usenet) 
sense, "adding a particular Usenet poster to one's kill file".
