Sure, there’s a lot of plug sockets there, but I don’t see a single plug in that image

I’m from the UK.
It was a joke. Don’t take things so seriously
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.
To see OP make a funny, here we go!

I'm just here to plug for Um, Actually. If anyone wants to see pedantry be funny it's a great show. It's mostly behind a pay wall at Dropout.tv (formerly collegehumor) but if you like DnD actual play, whose line is it anyway, or game shows it's well worth the $5 a month to support a streaming service that isn't evil and makes great content.
A good amount of it is on YouTube as well if you want to see what it’s about.
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.
You would have to come to my house to see a horrifying(but impressive and... Expensive) number of plugs
