A quote I heard years ago:
"At the bottom of a big pile of sh*t you'll find a pony."

Here, it's almost universally called a plug. Do you have a plug, where's the nearest plug?

On the other side of the coin. I can't even spell receptacle. And always strapped for an abreviation on labels. Maybe PLUG aint that bad after all.

Well you must have a gud spel-cheker, as it don't come up with skiggly red liens under it.

I think a lot of people call them "outlets"...when they mean receptacle...(most are duplex)

Ummmm, it IS an outlet. Of electricity. If the electricity don't come out, nuthin' happens. May as well plug your cord into the dirt.

By the way, a search on Google (OK, call it The Evil One, whatever) shows up 3.25MM results for "electrical outlet". Additionally, Leviton (just my opinion, but a pretty well regarded company as far as I can tell) calls them outlets. In fact they have a web page with that in the title: Residential Outlets from Leviton

That surprises me. I would have guessed receptacle. Always thought it funny, was driving somewhere outside Canada and road sign said NO OUTLET. Is that for people looking to charge their devices?

Here in Missouri there are lots of No Outlet signs. I guess Dead End is politically incorrect.

It is a electrical female 120 Volt Receptacle.

Female one is NEMA 5-15R or 5-20R, R is Receptacle.
Male end is NEMA 5-15P or 5-20P, P is for plug.
5- is the voltage rating. 120v
15 or 20 is amp rating.

A receptacle is one type of outlet. Everyone is correct, and you can pick up your participation trophy on your way out. :D
