Pull some plugs out (3)
I believe the answer is:
lug
'pull' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)
'some plugs out' is the wordplay.
'some' says the answer is hidden in the clue (some of the parts of the word are used).
'LUG' can be found hidden inside '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)" .)
