What do you call these?

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dongle
I’m afraid dongle refers to something else.
But it is a funny word, though!

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.)
A funny video, but why did you link it?
Why the China video? You referenced China three times in three sentences. Grazing over the comments, I read
"... quality crap ... China ... China ... seizing ... China ... Even Vietnam!"
and so many mentions of China made me think of that China video.

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
The charger/phone charger. Since it's the most used charger it's just the default if we're not specific

Charger.

Phone charger
But in the case of the ones in the pic, fire hazzard
Because they're made in the wrong part of China where no iPhones and Motorola are made? It's so hard to tell whether it's the west side of Shenzhen or the east side that is best. Are they gonna dance-fight over that?

If the transformer is in the same housing at the plug with a separate cable (as shown): wall wart.
If the DC cable is attached, it's a charger.
If it's housed in its own case, it's a power brick.
If there's no transformer it's a power lead, unless it's rated for over 10A, then it's a power cable.
Dongles are peripherals that are housed in the same casing as the host connector. Anyone who thinks they can power a device with a dongle is a dangerous sociopath.

There's plenty of dongles that have passthru power. At what point it becomes a dock though I'm not sure.

Wall wart, but nobody knows what the fuck I’m talking about. “charger plug” is what those anround me expect to hear. So, that’s what I call them.

drop the 'usb' when the context makes it obvious

wrote last edited by [email protected]Everything you said was except for dongle. I absolutely would not accept that in my household.
