No seriously, I always get blank stares when I ask people, I’ve called them wall chargers or power bricks, my friend called them plug chargers, my fiancee calls them dongles. What do you call these around your house, like when you’re asking someone if they’ve seen any (______)'s

As it says on the device, power adapter. But if you wanted to be more specific, you could call it a USB power adapter.
Wall charger should also get the message across.
Take your fiancée to the hospital & check for stroke. Dongles…are something entirely different. Always.
Power Adapter is too broad.
If someone asked me for one I wouldn’t know what they wanted. It could be an international adapter, or a DC power supply, or one of these things.
That’s totally fair, and I agree. People in my circles say power adapter or wall charger, or hell actually enough people also say HEY. I need a phone charger. Understood. 🤙🤙🤙
USB charger
Wall wart
This is a wall plugged charger with USB A -> please stop calling it dongle. I am sure we can at least agree, that dongle is factually wrong.
All of that minus dongles. Never dongles!
Clearly labeled power adapters
Wall warts
I honestly hate this term, but alas, I also say wall wart most of the time.
USB A/C adapter, or just “ac adapter”.
This is my actual answer, also “wall adapter,” but I really liked Ginny’s “argly bargy cable chargie.”
“Charging block”
Adapter or charger. Rarely - power brick.
USB Charger
I refuse any moniker for these besides bricks
It’s only a brick if it’s separated from both the outlet and the device it’s powering by cables. Fight me.
🤔 you know I think you might be right. I’m going to continue calling it a brick it out of spite.
Spite is one hell of a motivator. Being hunted by hyenas is another. There’s probably others, too.
Isn’t that in itself a moniker?
Wall Adapter
I call those release the Epstein files
Phone Charger/Wall Charger
