Bzzzt, wrong




/bzt rong/ (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; capitalisation and emphasis of the buzzer sound varies.
