Plug and socket, plug and socket outlet, plug and receptacle or plain plug and outlet all seem to be in common usage in the US. Plug and socket is possibly the only wording commonly used in the UK.

Travel iron that says 110volts 250watts is that ok to use in the USA afraid to plug it in it has a us plug?

110 volts is the standard electrical voltage in the USA, so you will not damage your iron, when you plug it in. If the iron is dual voltage (110/230 volts), move the voltage selector switch to 110 volts before you use it in the USA. However, there are two diffferent types of electrical socket in North America (with or without earth grounding). For safety reasons, I would not recommend using your iron (anywhere in the world), unless the plug has a round earth pin, in addition to the two flat bladed pins.
