US electrical plugs are the worst.

I still regularly manage to electrocute myself on those death designed shit plugs that allow uounto touch love metal if you're not very careful

Then the "Gravity will pull your plug out of the wall" design which is just amazing too.

Then the "bends by breathing at it" strength

I could go on, but you get it.

Electrocute means to be killed by electric shock. Unless you're being reincarnated again and again I think you mean to say that you've managed to shock yourself regularly.

Electrocute means neon green and attractive. I will not be taking questions.

Collins and m-w both have "kill or [severely] injure", whereas Cambridge has only "kill". So I guess it can be used their way sometimes some places?

He was just being cute with the phrase.
