"Bzzzt, wrong" is popular expression, used often on the internet, expressing disagreement. Punctuation varies. It is a reference to a Robin Williams routine in the movie ''Dead Poets Society'', which itself spoofs radio and 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. ==References== *Jargon File, version 4.3.1.

There might be better titles for the article, though I can't think of any offhand. --User:Lee Daniel Crocker : Sure, why not? It may be the case that its usage has dropped, but its certainly of some historical interest and is accurate.
