Pull the plug: idioms for stopping a project

To pull the plug on something means to stop a project or plan for good, usually because it isn't working. For a plan or event that hasn't happened yet, say "call it off." For an urgent stop, say "shut it down." If you only want a pause, say "Let's put it on hold."

表現ごとの解説

You need to call it off. 口調とニュアンス: Calm and casual

Use this to tell someone to cancel a plan or an event, such as a party, a meeting, or a trip. Don't use it for something that is already running, like a machine or a website.

“You need to call it off.”

使用作品：Young Woman and the Sea (2024)
Pull the plug. 口調とニュアンス: Firm, final decision

Use this when someone decides to stop a project for good, often after time or money has gone into it. Add "on" before the thing you stop: pull the plug on the app. It sounds final, so don't use it for a short break.

“Pull the plug, dude.”

使用作品：Harsh Times (2005)
Shut it down. 口調とニュアンス: Strong, urgent order

Use this when stopping something must happen right now, such as a machine, a system, or an operation. It sounds like an order, so it can be too strong for a polite meeting.

“Shut it down, doctor Selvig.”

使用作品：The Avengers (2012)
Let's put it on hold. 口調とニュアンス: Neutral, temporary pause

Use this when you want to stop for now and maybe start again later. It's the safe choice in a meeting when the decision isn't final yet.
We're scrapping the project. 口調とニュアンス: Direct, a bit blunt

Use this to say a plan or project is completely canceled and the work will not be used. It's common in offices but sounds harder than "put it on hold."
Let's call it a day. 口調とニュアンス: Friendly, relaxed

Use this to stop working for today, not to cancel a project. It's a good way to end a long work session with coworkers or friends.

よくある間違い

惜しい表現 ~~We decided to pull the plug of the project.~~

より適切な表現 We decided to pull the plug on the project.

The idiom uses "on" before the thing you stop. "Pull the plug of" is not a natural English pattern.
惜しい表現 ~~The rain started, so they called off it.~~

より適切な表現 The rain started, so they called it off.

When the object is a pronoun like "it," put it between the verb and "off." The same rule applies to "shut it down," not "shut down it."
惜しい表現 ~~Let's call it a day on the whole project.~~

より適切な表現 Let's pull the plug on the whole project.

"Call it a day" means stop working for today. To end a project for good, use "pull the plug" or "scrap it."
