Yeah, and those plugs were officially called "butt plugs", which nowadays
have an entirely different meaning. <g>

And on another topic altogether in my telecom days we used a handset that
plugged into the equipment so we could monitor or make calls and this was
always called a 'Butt' although no-one knew why.  Many years later someone
was given a very old version of one of these by someone who didn't really
know what it was, it was boxed, and the label on the box said 'Buttinsky
Handset'.
