A noise that may be too subtle to hear at first but which is audible enough to disrupt an audio recording. It was most notably used by an audio engineer who asked a perturbed Orson Welles to read another take while recording a commercial for frozen peas.
WELLES narrating: Nothing is more important than the simple act of people getting together—
ENGINEER: Good. Could I have one more go, Orson, please? Sorry.
WELLES: What?
ENGINEER: Could I have just one more take of that?
WELLES: Why? I just did it right. Now, look, I'm not used to having more than one person in there. One
more word out of you, and you go. Is that clear?
ENGINEER: Yes, sir.
WELLES: I take directions from one person ... under protest! But from two I don't sit still. Who the hell are you, anyway?
ENGINEER: I'm the engineer.
WELLES: Well, why the hell are you asking me for another one?
ENGINEER: Well, I thought there was a slight gonk and I would just like to be safe.
WELLES: Jesus. shuffles papers What is a "gonk"? Do you mind telling me what that is?
ENGINEER: No, no, a bang from outside.
WELLES: A "bang from outside." pours himself some water Can I see Mrs. Rogers for a minute, please?
ENGINEER: Yes, certainly.

A Gonk is 2 things:
1- It’s another name for a troll (a toy monster thing with sticky up hair)
2- It’s a person that looks retarded with big glasses like jam jar bottoms and snorts like a pig.

A gonk is a very stupid, ditsy girl that may or may not be a huge slut as well.
1. A sorority girl that wears her North Face jacket, Ugg boots, and leggings.
2. A girl that has absolutely no hobbies/past times besides going to the bars and getting drunk with her "besties."
3. Can even be used in referring to a "hipster" girl who thinks that she is cooler than everyone else, but in all reality she is still a naive girl that drinks PBR, uses a mac, and thinks she's a good photographer.

"Look at that group of gonks, all wearing their uggs."
"I went to the bars last night and all I saw were gonks."
"She is a gonkin' ass bitch."

A 'Gonk' is the way to describe someone who is unemployed and spends most of there time smoking marijuana and listening to 90's metal. The typical 'Gonk' is most commonly bisexual and will have sex with almost anything that has a pulse. Although they tend to travel in packs, you will not see this specific class of person at any bars or clubs though as they frighten easily. You will only ever see these types of people at house parties held by other 'Gonks'. A gonk can be identified purely by look and through their methods of communication. The average 'Gonk' will have an unusual hair cut or be wearing an old hat. They also have many piercings and tattoo's and look as though they haven't showered since the early 2000's. A female gonk is, in most instances, a lesbian and has no issue about getting in your face and making comments about you that you don't understand. 'Gonks' range between the ages of 20 and 40 and can even adapt to spawning little 'Gonk' children.
