I'm not well versed on dutch onomatopoeia, but this one is tricky...
The script reads:
"I'd be, like, a genius of the internet or something... and just like that, POP, I'd go wireless."
In the performance, however, the poet uses "POP" as onomatopoeia... as in the sound a wine bottle or champagne bottle makes when you pull the cork... which is an absolutely brilliant way to integrate his take on what it would be like if he ruled over the internet.
Throughout the performance, he uses uncanny references to things that are internet related. Since this section is about spam, however, he's trying to tie in the connection to e-mail and POP3 servers and the literary onomatopoeia associated with the term "pop!"
My question, thus, is if there is a dutch equivalent that might be equally grounded in internet/networking acronyms or words.
For example...
één, twee, hup! ==> één, twee, hub!

it is indeed tricky but also quite interesting to find a solution here. To keep it network etc. related, the first thing that comes to mind in the context is "Ping!"
I will chew on it a bit more.
