Plop
/Sounds like "PLOHP" (as in "plow")/
Meaning
An expression of shock or bewilderment, like being left completely speechless by something unexpected. It comes from the Chilean and Argentine comic strip Condorito, where characters literally fall flat on the ground with a 'plop' when something absurd happens. Used when reality hits you so hard you don't even know how to respond.
Examples
“He told me he wasn't going and I was left speechless.”
“The answer was so bad I just went plop.”
