wrote last edited by [email protected]I call them '..a brick, a power brick.. a charger, no, the part you plug..'. Lmao, I carry one of these, whatever its cursed name is, with me literally everywhere I go so I don't have to ask for the thing. I feel you sib.
See also: portable USB memory.
Edit: unless you need another thing! A power bank? 'This?' Taking out a brick. A usb-c cable? 'What?' Phone charger? 'This?' No, the cable.. thanks.. sorry this is usb-a I'm gonna need the brick as well.. 'the what?' Smh.

Power brick, power adapter, or USB charger are what come to mind for me.
I gotta say I disagree heavily with your fiancee on dongles. IMO dongles are adapters for data of some kind, not just power from the wall. But to each their own I guess.

I'd call them USB adapters; "chargers" is probably slightly more common though never sat right with me since they can be used to power things other than charging.
Or more in the past we would call any kind of power adapters "transformers" but don't seem to hear that much any more.

Nobody has ever helped China as much as Trump has. In fact, he is the biggest friend China has ever had. The best. The awesomest. And the most modestest! Absolutely fabulous. (Really, nobody in the west has ever helped China gain as much influence as mr. Carrotface has.)

wrote last edited by [email protected]At one point we called them USB chargers. Nowadays, though, I just call them e-waste. Every thing I’ve bought for the last few years has been USB-C, and chargers for those usually come with a 10w type A port.

*Hey babe do we have any YF-W36-2U?"
"Sorry hon only 2E"
"Dammit"
wrote last edited by [email protected]Wall voltage = 120V and Wavy.
Old USB = 5V and Not Wavy.
These adapt the two. They're also known as power supplies. The bricks in laptop cables are also power supplies, they can just handle more power. Modern high speed USB just has a whole conversation with the plug where they agree on whether to use Not Wavy 5V, 9V, 15V, or 20V.
