          Maybe let’s just say that you and I have different senses of humour and leave it at that.

          For me, the humour comes from the fact that I pretended not to understand the image and point out that there are no plugs in the image. It’s a bit of wordplay that relies on the fact that people sometimes call plug sockets plugs.

      the technical term is a convenience receptactle, which accepts the plugs from the item that needs power.

      Colloquially you’re correct. But in discussion its proabably worth it to differentiate, but I definitely still say “wheres the plug-in” at.
