gronk: /gronk/ vt. [popularized by Johnny Hart's comic strip
"B.C." but the word apparently predates that] 1. To clear the state
of a 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".
