How Do You Spell PLUNKED?

Pronunciation: [plˈʌŋkt] (IPA)

The "u" is pronounced as a short, unrounded vowel, followed by a voiced velar stop represented by the "nk" combination, which is then followed by a voiced dental or alveolar plosive represented by the "d" sound. In English, "plunked" is used to describe the sound of a heavy object hitting a surface with a dull, hollow sound.

PLUNKED Meaning and Definition

  1. Plunked is the past tense and past participle of the verb "plunk." It is a colloquial term that can have different meanings depending on the context.

    One definition of plunked is to strike or hit something or someone with a dull, heavy sound. It can refer to the act of dropping or setting something down heavily or abruptly, causing a distinctive sound, often resembling a low, resonant thud. For example, if a heavy object falls to the ground with a loud thud, it can be said to have been plunked.

    Alternatively, plunked can also mean to hit or throw an object or projectile with force and accuracy. This usage is commonly associated with sports, particularly baseball. When used in this sense, it refers to the act of hitting a pitched ball with the bat in a solid, forceful manner, typically resulting in a distinct sound upon impact. For instance, a player who hits a home run can be described as having plunked the ball out of the park.

    In both senses, plunked conveys the notion of a heavy, solid impact or contact, often accompanied by a resonant sound. However, the context in which it is used determines the specific meaning, whether it is related to dropping an object or striking something forcefully, as in sports.
