plop
Small splash sound
Plop is the sound of something dropping into liquid—a stone into a pond, a raindrop into a puddle.
The word imitates the noise itself.
As a verb, to plop is to drop or fall with this sound, or more loosely, to set something down carelessly: She plopped onto the couch.
He plopped the groceries on the counter.
A plop is also an instance of this sound or action.
