Why is an electrical outlet called an outlet when 당신 plug things into it? Shouldn't it be called an inlet?

Well why do u call it a tv set if u only get one?

*facepalm* I'm not even going to try to explain...

Let me think.

I think it's because the outlet outputs electricity, actually. It throws an electric current through whatever it is that 당신 plug in.
또는 at least I think that's it.

Because 의해 the end of the 일 it runs your electric bill up so high, you'll wish it was OUT your house

I rebuttal with the simple 질문 of 'Who the bloody hell cares?'

idk my bff Jill

It LETS electricity OUT.

And why is it called a pair of pants when it's one object?
