It appears there are no droids referenced under either disputed entry. I will have to broaden my search parameters...
...Ah. I believe I now understand the nature of the argument. If I may hypothesize, you are making onomatopoetic references to a specific droid. My digital language libraries indicate there is a 98.992% chance that the droid in dispute is a <a href=http://www.starwars.com/databank/droid/powerdroid/eu.html>Veril Line Systems Industrial Automaton GNK unit</a>. Such droids are quite common, and are a vital and integral component of any droid community, providing energy to droids much like myself. Their design is quite basic, and crude. They have limited artificial intelligence, a binary communication mode, and a basic ambulatory locomotion system. Stand by, I will attempt to extrapolate the GNK binary command list, and overlay it against both disputed phrases.

Process complete. The GNK automaton unit has an identification parameter that is a 99.998% match with the onomatopoeia term "Gonk". It serves as a reminder for all droids within transmission range to recharge, if their power reservoirs are running low. I am afraid that I cannot find a binary command entry for "Gronk". It does not appear to be a part of the GNK automaton's command structure. Perhaps there is a pronounciation error, indigenous to the speaker's locale? Shall I attempt to compensate for all jargons and dialects native to the southern hemisphere of Sol?
For reference, Mr. Droid, nothing capable of jargon and dialect lives on the southern hemisphere of Sol, unless the entity can withstand the high temperatures and pressures inherent to a star. Perhaps you mean Terra?
