gronk/ Popularised by Johnny Hart's comic strip "B.C." but
the word apparently predates that.

wedged device and restart it.
More severe than "to
frob" (sense 2).
2. [
TMRC] To cut, sever, smash, or similarly disable.
3. The sound made by many 3.5-inch diskette drives. In
particular, the microfloppies on a Commodore
Amiga go
"grink,
gronk".
