Plonk can be heard as the noise itself: something solid lands and the air gives back one short, dull thump. Everything in this group is that thump, used in a different way — the hand that let go of the object a moment early, the person who dropped into a chair, the exact spot where the thing came down.
Wiktionary records this plonk as onomatopoeic — a word made out of the sound it names — and points to plunk as a near relative.
來源把這一支的 plonk 記成狀聲詞,也就是照聲音造出來的字,並提到相近的 plunk。所以這裡的順序可以想成:先有聲音,才有動作和位置。

A second word, same spelling
This plonk is spelled like the noise word but comes down a different road. One way to hold it: a bottle you picked up without looking at the label, opened without ceremony, and would never describe to anyone as good.
Wiktionary records this noun as WWI military slang, an alteration of French vin blanc (white wine), first seen in the playful rhyming form plinketty-plonk, and notes the sound of wine being poured may have helped it along.
來源記載它是一次大戰的軍中俚語,由法文 vin blanc(白酒)走音而來,最早出現的是 plinketty-plonk 這種押韻的玩笑說法。來源也提到,倒酒的聲音可能讓這個講法更站得住。可以想成士兵把聽不懂的外語照著唸成自己的字。
