Hey! Someone put a bunch of counterfeit pants in my Internet hole!
You wouldn't download pants.
I was gonna say that I have to sometimes refer to it as "RJ45” port, because we actually also work with differently shaped Ethernet ports. Then I decided to look up, if that's specifically the name of the plug or of the port as well.

And technically wrong
Internet hold*
Oh hey it's my nickname from college :3
