You may want to be more specific. From my perspective, you could be referring to a photograph, a building, a particular building, or an aspect of the building's design.

Yes, it's a simple plug, but the photo itself visually suggests creative interperetations. As I think this is a cool thread idea, how about we delve into the multiple meanings of "plug", to help out JB? Idioms are very hard for ESL students.

This is also called a plug...and it is definitely a novelty.

Okay, I know it's in the bathtub. My offer is this....a 'plug' is also known in English as a legally approved advertisment for a project, product or service by a media icon. Sometimes one can get free plugs, if they sweet-talk the source providing them.

Also, when a toilet, sink or bathtub does not drain properly it is known as being "plugged up."
