Pull some plugs out (3)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

lug

'pull' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

'some plugs out' is the wordplay.
'some' indicates the answer is hidden within the clue (some parts of the word are used).
'LUG' is hidden within 'plugs out'.

(Other definitions for lug that I've seen before include "Projecting piece; haul" , "Drag or carry with effort" , "Drag heavily" , "Pull - ear" , "Haul; ear (slang)" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
