Remember when refuelling your bike and your glasses are misted up not to put your head over the hole in the tank in case there is a massive splash-back into your face and you get petrol in your eyes.
It does sting a tad and yes I'm a plonker Roll Eyes Grin Tongue

Wow Mark, you sure can tell your an ex-teacher. Here lately you've helped expand my vocabulary tremendously.... Wink

1. Plonker - "dope, idiot, moron, wally, pillock, dunderhead, dimwit"

2. Plonker - "The term plonker started out as a reference to someone who was forever drunk on cheap wine (cheap wine is nicknamed plonk) this person was usually a homeless person, or poor person.

Today the term plonker is a very light hearted insult. It's not even seen as an insult, it's like calling someone a wally. It's in no way meant maliciously. You call someone a plonker when they say or do something stupid."

Definitely a much more gentile way of calling someone a dumbass.... Grin

Thanks for learning me.... Wink

Johann Wolfgang von Goethe - “There is nothing worse than aggressive stupidity.”

The origin I'm familiar with is a tad more basic. Wink http://onlineslangdictionary.com/definition+of/plonker

plonker
noun

    * British origin. Popularised by U.K. sitcom 'Only Fools and Horses'. Means penis, used as a derogatory term or an idiot, but also often used affectionately.

          You're an idiot, such a plonker.

Oops, forgot the link - http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=plonker - this is where I got the above definitions. I only looked at the first few.

I sure didn't know until I googled it....lol

You could, but no one in the States would get it without reading this thread! Grin

Sorry about the gas (petrol  Wink ) Ozzy. Just be glad you're not a mechanic. Rust is worse. I was once trying to loosen the bolts on an exhaust manifold, (under the car at the flange where the exhaust pipe starts) and had a piece of rust fall into my eye. (Plonker for not wearing safety glasses) At least it was big enough that I was able to remove it with a magnet. Still, no fun.

I met the worlds biggest plonker this morning. He knocked me off my bike and then buggered off! His mate the 2nd biggest plonker then decided to run over my hand with his Discovery rather than go round the motorcyclist stranded in the middle of the road and trapped under his bike!

I can't speak for the rest of New England but I've been familiar with the word for a long time; it may, however, have to do my grandmother's late 19th and early 20th century Canadian ancestry.

Amazingly all that kevlar in the gloves seems to have spared me. I'm rather bruised down my right side and aching and the hand is a bit swollen but otherwise I'm remarkably unscathed.
Alas Saturday will now be dedicated to the repair of the bike as the end can is rather fruity due to the damage and one indicator is knackered. I can also probably fix the fairing rather than buy a new one.
I'm just glad I'm not eating hospital food!

I need another language lesson Mark. I get knackered, and I am very familiar with motorcycle nomenclature, but what is an 'end can'?
