Don't order them from AliExpress.

Charger block/brick. I'm definitrly siding with you; "dongle" is a bit of a stretch for these.
It's not a stretch it's wrong. It's not a dongle at all

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

Just asking for a dongle with no context is already kind of an issue. Unless this is the only thing she ever calls a dongle. It's like saying can you give me a piece of cutlery. What kind??
