Best two out of three

What other possible value could there be that would fit the phrase "Best out of three" that requires the removal of abiguity by inserting the word two?

Plug socket

A socket is the female part, a plug is the male part.  Therefore a socket implies a plug of some sort. So saying plug socket is pointless it tells us nothing about the type socket in question.  What is actually meant by "Plug Socket" by most people is ofc the Electrical Socket.
