Kerplunk Guide, Meaning , Facts, Information and Description

Kerplunk is an onomatopoeia to represent the sound of something heavy falling down.

Kerplunk is also a game involving the suspension of numerous marbles over a web of thin plastic rods inserted perpendicularly through a clear plastic cylinder. The players take turns removing a single rod from the cylinder while trying to minimize the number of marbles that fall to the ground. The player who accumulates the the largest number of fallen marbles loses. The name of the game derives from the onomatopoeic sound of the marbles tumbling to the base of the cylinder when a given rod is removed.

Kerplunk is also the punk rock band Green Day's second album. Kerplunk was recorded in May and September of 1991 at the Art of Ears studio in San Francisco. It was released on January 17, 1992, under the Lookout! Records label.
