Bzzzt! Wrong.
|
|
|
|
/bzt rong/ , excl. [common; Usenet/Internet; punctuation varies] From a
|
|
Robin Williams routine in the movie Dead Poets Society spoofing radio or TV
|
|
quiz programs, such as Truth or Consequences, where an incorrect answer
|
|
earns one a blast from the buzzer and condolences from the interlocutor. A
|
|
way of expressing mock-rude disagreement, usually immediately following an
|
|
included quote from another poster. The less abbreviated *Bzzzzt*, wrong,
|
|
but thank you for playing is also common; capitalization and emphasis of the
|
|
buzzer sound varies.
