Plop
/Sounds like "PLOHP" (as in "plow")/
Meaning
An expression of shock or bewilderment, like being left completely speechless by something unexpected.

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.”
