7-9-07 (A day in someone's life) and a damn Monday !

Never, ever plug a female plug into a male. This is very dangerous
because a female does not have the tools required to plug a male.
However, plugging a male into a female is perfectly safe and normal.
Anyone trying to plug two males together is gay and should get
electricuted doing it. If two female plugs are shoved into each
other, please contact Rosie O'Donnel for further instructions, and you
might end up on her show.

I worked part-time at a hardware store when I was in high school. One day a
lady came in and said she wanted an electrical plug...

I asked her if she wanted a male plug or a female plug.

She asked what was the difference.

I blushed and said I would show her. I held up a male plug and said this is
a male. Then I held up a female plug and said this is a female plug.

She said; Oh I get it! (Then she blushed....)

Unless otherwise specified...
Plugs (as the word itself suggests) are male.
Receptacles, or outlets, are female.

Yes, there are female plugs and male receptacles, but there was little
chance that your customer wanted those, or that your hardware store carried
them.

How many people would identify a standard extension cord as having or
needing one plug and one outlet? Male and female plugs would be pretty
normal communication. Rod

That reminds me of one day this man kept singing about "prong breath",
and then explained what "prong" means.

I have never heard anyone say "female plug" unless they meant
something that plugs into a female.

Toller hasn't explained yet what he meant by female plug and until he
does, I'll figure there are none.

What say, Toller, were you referring to reverse sex connectors?

I would say one plug cap and one receptacle.

Interesting.....since I thought male/female plugs were pretty common
terminology, at the listed links they do as well, nor in my brief search did
I find anything contrary except in a radio shack 9 ft extension cord catalog
item they refered to the cord as having one outlet at each end...I found
that really confusingG.....Rod

I cehcked this one and only found two uses of plug* , both proper,
"plugged into"

http://www.thinkglink.com/Repairing_...nsion_Cord.htm

http://www.homeenvy.com/db/4/404.html


I looked ut these two, and I don't think the writers know what they're
talking about, and should be expected to.** They should be talking
about male and female *ends*. That's the word that has been used in
the past to refer to both plugs and outlets on cords.

There are lots of words that people misuse. Currently, "irony" is
often used where there is perhaps a coincidence but no irony.
"Obviously" is used where something is not obvious at al, and where
"famously" or something else is meant.

"Epitome" is almost always misused. It doent's mean apex, zenith,
acme, it means a most typical example, which is something very
different.

A bunch more that I can't think of right now.



**Two users of female plug:

Most hardware stores will have a heavy duty male and female
replacement plug you can use for your cord. Follow the instructions on
how to add the new male and female plugs to your cord. While you will
end up with shorter cords, you will have a safer cord for your use.

Buy a replacement plug (either male or female, depending on which end
of the cord you're repairing) that's rated to match the amperage of
your extension cord. (If in doubt, cut off the plug and take it with
you to the hardware store).
