Hi All,

I want to know how to say somebody that he should unplug the cabel.
I'd like to know what common people say.
I could say briefly unplug it but which is correct from the below list?

1. Pull the wall-plug of the extension cord out of the plugbox
2. Pull the wall-plug of the extension lead out of the plugbox
3. Pull the plug of the extension cord out of the wall socket
4. Pull the plug of the extension lead out of the wall socket
5. Pull the plug of the extension cord out of the plugbox
6. Pull the plug of the extension cord out of the plug contact
7. Pull the connector of the extension lead out of the plug contact
8. Unplug the extension cord jack out of the wall recepticle

Thanks,
Attila

In my part of the universe we would say either of these:

"Unplug the extension cord from the wall socket."
"Pull the extension cord plug out of the wall socket."

The first one is probably better.
