  • Plomp sounds like a toilet noise to me.

    It really does but what else can we expect from a nation which gave the world the word "poop"?

      "poop" came from the Dutch?

                Incidentally, plomp in Dutch means:

                1. adjective
                heavy, sluggish
                rude, uncivilized

                2. noun
                sound of something falling down, a dash of liquid, a splash
                a waterplant (!!)
                a ditch


                A flattering name indeed

                  That's the definition of a poop deck not poop as in dog poop. But it seems to be middle English and not Dutch so I guess I over rated the importance of the Dutch.
