What do you call these?

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
Charging block

Power bricks or USB bricks. A dongle is an adapter, so it has some sort of thing on each side (besides a power plug lol).
are they called dongles because they dangle?

Wall warts
I honestly hate this term, but alas, I also say wall wart most of the time.

I guess so!

I'd usually only call something 'Netzteil' in the context of computers and not devices primarily used with batteries in mind
Interesting! For me anything that goes into the socket (Stromnetz) is a Netzteil

The Dingus. Wall wart. And a whole number of colorful names if I step on one with the prongs up, or roll my ankle on one in the dark!

"Thingie"
Or in my language -- "Negocinho".
A Negocinho and a Cabo ("a thingie and a cable") make a phone charger ("carregador de celular")
Ah! A Chingadera!

Again, I do not care, that's not something that matters in our relationship
Edit: I still don't care and now I'm going to start saying it when talking to her because all of your discomfort gives me joy
If you both know what you mean, that’s all that matters because that’s the entire point of language in that context. I don’t think it’s giving anyone discomfort though.
