bzzzt, wrong /bzt rong/ /excl./ [Usenet/Internet] 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.
