plug
Blocks the drain
The verb plug has a literal meaning of stopping or blocking something by means of an obstruction (plug a hole).
The commonest figurative meaning of plug conveys promotion: She’s plugging her new novel.
A plug may be an object that fits in a hole and blocks it (drain plug) or it may be an instance of promoting something (movie plug).
The male part of many electrical fittings is called the plug.
When you plug something in, you insert such a plug into an electrical socket.
