One of your up and coming sprinters Chijindu Ujah said today that he won't preen for the cameras like Bolt becuase he's afraid he might not do tell then "might look like a plonker."
One question.
What the hell is a plonker? Please give us the definition.
We definitely do't have that term over here.
A pillock. A wazzock.
The ultimate definition:
http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=plonker
1. plonker
dope, idiot, moron, wally, pillock, dunderhead, dimwit
Apparently, there's a few get on the LR MB.
Don't forget the nyaffs and muppets.
Seriously Rojo? You couldn't read the quite and get a good idea what he meant. You really can be very stupid.
What Ujah means is that he doesn't want to act like a Bolt Clone like Blake, Lerone Clark and all those other idiots who think they should think of somekind of act.
Always liked the 'Christie stare' the best.
classic...

I find these wannabes really pathetic and tedious. They try too hard. Bolt is naturally charismatic.
"Plonker" is synonymous with "Frat Bro."
Let me google that for you.

plonker
Line breaks: plonk¦er
Pronunciation: /ˈplɒŋkə
/
noun
British
1 informal A foolish or inept person.
More example sentences
2 vulgar slang A man’s penis.
Origin
mid 19th century (as a dialect word meaning 'something large of its kind'): from the verb plonk1 + -er1.
I first heard the term watching one of our comedy series from way back - ‘Only Fools and Horses’
A sort of affectionate put down by the older brother.
And certainly more acceptable to the TV audiences than the more forceful word it replaced, more generally used in public - ‘Wanker!’

You realize neither of your definitions is the correct one
You're not gonna find every possible use of British slang in your dictionary
You also realize the correct explanation was given a few posts above you if you had just read
0/2 for you

I thought it would be a good thread for the messageboard. Yes I could google it but I figured if i posted it on the board, I'd get a better answer than what is out there.
And that's proven to be true.
JK, has written in a long response:

JK, a hard-core British comedy fan, informs us that he first heard the term “plonker” on the Britcom series “Only Fools and Horses,” a show about a small-time schemer / con man struggling to get his dimwitted younger brother (whom he constantly calls a “plonker”) up to speed on how to pull off the latest get-rich-quick scam. Basically, a plonker in this sense is a dolt that has a knack for messing everything up, but it seems to originally have been used to describe a drunken, tottering fool.)
Now when people google plonker, this thread will show up and I'll be laughing all the way to the bank.
rojo, there is a plonker sitting at your keyboard
