pull the plug

Can be abbreviated to PTP.

Literally means someone who pulls the ethernet cable out of their computer during a game. This is typically done when the plug puller is losing the game and wants to quit, but does not want to be blacklisted. The purpose is to put forward a pretense that they lagged out and did not quit.

Plug pullers often have the mistaken belief that other players will actually think they lagged out, when in actual fact it provides more incentive to blacklist the perpetrator because it means that others must wait 60-70 seconds rather than have it over quickly.

Let’s Pull the Plug

C’mon baby. You know I love you. Let’s pull the plug. I can’t beat off again.
It is said of the situation where a person has the bad luck to make contact with his testicles against an undefined surface or object, intentioned or not.
Given the nature of the word, it is more appropriate to design cases where the interaction is made with a moving object, for example, a ball.
Although it is extremely painful for the victim, it tends to be considerably funny to people who witness it.
Today in the baseball game the pitcher took a nutshot; the baseball hit him in the nuts.

Man, I just watched the funniest nutshot video ever.
