Hmm.... probably regional. Maybe very local to me only. I've always said plinking because that's the sound they made when plucked. If the sound was more of a plunk, then I'd tighten them. Perhaps back then I was tensioning them too much. I had a spoke wrench and knew absolutely nothing about wheel building. I suppose those were my dangerous days. <grin>
