In American English, is the phrase "pulled out the plug" correct, or is there something more idiomatic?

I've never heard a person actual say I pulled out the plug. Unplugged, just like the MTV show. ;-)

Pulling the plug would immediately get a 'Oh! I'm so sorry!' followed by hollow reassurances about how 'they're better off' now or 'with God'.
