Turn the power off to that plug at the breaker. If at that point you can still get at the broken parts remove them. If not, then replace the plug.

What would cause a plug to blow off the outlet pipe on a 2003 Lincoln ls v8?

The coolant outlet pipe breaks inside bypassing the thermostat. It just happened to mine. I tore it apart and was amazed at the plastic parts that failed. I learned a bit more about it on a Lincoln LS forum and it seems quite common. Replace the coolant outlet pipe assembly along with your thermostat.

What is the common way of referring to a plug and its corresponding socket as per the electrical engineering terminology?

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. [Plug and socket outlet sounds ok to a me, as a Brit, but we never really use that expression in the UK. Plug and outlet or plug and receptacle actually sound very strange!]
