    Thats only the second time I've heard that.

    A very old electrician I worked with called plugs 'plug tops', maybe its an old electrician thing, when people did proper apprenticeships.

    Indeed plugs are frequently referred to as plug tops. However socket outlets are never referred to as "plug sockets" - they are either one or the other, and cannot be both.

    A plug socket is a socket that a plug goes into and a socket plug is a plug that goes into a socket. What could be clearer?
    Changing the world, one sarcastic comment at a time.
