We Japanese call a wall socket/outlet "コンセント (consent(o))"
I had no idea that the word "コンセント (consent)" is
a Japanese-English (Japanglish ) until today.
I thought the word "consent" described a socket/outlet exactly.
Like...
A socket/outlet and a plug connect with each other by mutual consent!
They say, the Japanese name, コンセント (consento), comes from "concentric plug,"
which may also be scarcely used in english speaking countries.
